And here we go for this Wasps-Toulouse, counting for the 3rd day of the Champions Cup!
Advantage Toulouse against the Wasps?
This is the 11th time that Wasps and Stade Toulousain have met on the European scene. So far, the balance sheet is balanced: out of the 10 clashes, each of the two teams has emerged victorious 4 times, for 2 draws.
Les Rouge et Noir had won the last two duels, when these two teams were in the same Champions Cup group during the 2018-2019 season.
Umaga at the back, captain of Brad Shields
Martinez, Cruse, Alo, Cardall, Gaskell; Barbeary, Shields, Willis, Wolstenholme Atkinson, Bassett, Gopperth, Odogwu, Crossdale, Umaga
The English team wasps will line up in particular Jacob Umaga in n°15, the nephew of the legend Tana Umaga, and the arrow Paolo Odogwu in the center. The English international and rough 3rd line Brad Shields holds against Toulouse.
On the absent side, there is heavy: Fekitoa, Hougaard, Launchbury, Minozzi, Stooke or even Robson.
A brand new 9, heavy to face the Wasps
Ramos; Mallia, Guitoune, Ahki, Lebel; (o) Ntamack, (m) Page-Relo; Placines, Jelonch, Cros; Laugh. Arnold, Flament; Aldegheri, Mauvaka, Baille.
Replacements: Cramont, Neti, Tafili, Meafou, Youyoutte, Bales, Nanai-Williams, Médard.
remitted, richie arnold returns to the second line, alongside Thibaud Flamingo, well recovered after his concussion against Clermont. In the third line, it’s classic, even if we note the absence of Selevasio Tolofua, who does not even appear on the score sheet.
The big sensation is the first tenure with Toulouse of Martin Page-Relo, 23, preferred to Alexi Bales to occupy the position of n°9 left vacant by Antoine Dupont. Loaned last year to Carcassonne and used only 7 minutes this season, he will be associated with the hinge at Romain Ntamack. For the three-quarter line, it’s a classic. Maxime Médard and Tim Nanai-Williams will be on the bench.
GUÊPES-TOULOUSE, KICK-OFF AT 2 PM!
Hello everyone and welcome to RMC Sport to follow the 3rd day of the Champions Cup live! Stade Toulousain moves without Dupont on the lawn of the formidable Wasps. Kick-off at 2 p.m.!
