Is this a little dig at those who criticize? Certainly. While a preliminary investigation was opened as part of the transfer of Melvin Jaminet who was playing in Perpignan in 2022 and the French Rugby Disciplinary Council ruled on a withdrawal of two firm points in the Top 14, the Stade Toulouse technician sent a message with an air of “alone against all” on the pitch.
After the improved victory against Lyon (41-19), Ugo Mola gave his traditional post-match speech in front of his men gathered in a circle on the pitch. « Everyone vomits on the president, on our club, on everyone. Everyone pukes on us,” he said, certainly referring to the criticisms made by some, who consider the sanction not heavy enough.
“Our only mode of expression is our fucking rugby, the rest, we don’t care. Not a sentence, we go home, we take the plane, we have a good Christmas and we prepare for next weekend,” insisted the French coach.
With this victory, Stade Toulouse is currently second in the Top 14 with the same number of points as Pau and will try to have a Christmas vacation with less tension.
