Top 14: USAP – Toulouse sold out?
The Aimé-Giral stadium welcomes the champion of France and Europe this Saturday February 5, 2022 (3 p.m., live on Canal +). It is the effervescence among the supporters. There may not be room for everyone.
The Stade Toulousain, champion of France and Europe in title, even deprived of its internationals, makes dream. The ticket office is “working hard” to the point that the Perpignan club does not rule out playing the match sold out, this Saturday at 3 p.m. The yellow is no longer limited to 5,000 spectators, Aimé-Gral is able to accommodate 13,000 people. As a tenant, one thing is taken into account: no place in weighing – that is to say standing – will be put up for sale.
Eru soon extended
Discussions are progressing between Shahn Eru and USAP. At the Catalan club since the 2017/2018 season, the New Zealand second line (32 years old, 1.96 m, 111 kg) is, according to our information, about to sign two more years.
For Verlarte, it is on the right track
As his contract ends in June 2022, occasional hooker and flanker Lucas Velarte (23, 1.85m, 108kg) is in talks to extend his lease. “It’s on the right track and it could be resolved within ten days”, assigned, last night, the director general of the USAP, Bruno Rolland. USAP is discussing with other players for a possible extension, in particular Tom Ecochard at the club since 2009 or hooker Victor Montgaillard.
Recruitment: expected announcements
If many Top 14 clubs have already made progress on recruitment for the next season, the USAP, which does not know what its future will hold (Top 14 or Pro D2), is advancing slowly. “Files are well advanced. We should be able to communicate within 15 days., advances Bruno Rolland without revealing the profiles.
