The Toulouse Rugby Club does not stop there
After surviving an administrative and then sporting crisis, the TRC intends to continue in the 2nd series. For this, the Roses want to hang the final stages at the end of the season.
It’s as if the difficult experiences had allowed them to gain new momentum. The Toulouse Rugby Club has now moved into the 2nd series and things have gone pretty well. But in 2019, the club almost experienced a period of sleep. “The previous management team put us up against the wall, remembers Quentin Tréjaut, pillar who became president. The staff left, and the club was in danger of closing. We, the players, got together, and gave a chance for a fresh start.” Thus, with Florent Lelong, Hugo Mandorla, Timothé Vanpouille and Benjamin Cans, they revived a club which experienced a second threat a few months later. In a relegation position in March 2020, the TRC only owed its salvation to the freezing of the descents.
Also, the “Roses” today are not complaining about the delay of two points that they accuse on the car of the qualifiers. Because they are aiming for the final stages this season. “The rescue mission has been amply fulfilled!” smiles the manager.
A clearly progressing game project
Seventh, the Haut-Garonne team is therefore almost in the nails. “It’s quite doable, measures head coach Jérôme Durrieu. For a year and a half, we have changed a lot inside and in rugby. We are halfway through our game project, and We’re starting to see results.”
While pointing to “the lack of success” and “the many points lost on foot”, the player/manager salutes the progress observed on the field: “We play a much more pleasant rugby. It’s the game made of movements advocated by the staff, which requires a lot of binding between the forwards and the three-quarters.” In addition, he assures that he can count on a great cohesion of the senior group: “What can help us to reach the top 6 is that we are always united. Even in the middle of winter we are up to 30 at the end of the season. ‘training’ The first meeting on this last straight line towards the spring: the reception of the TAC.The opportunity to clean up the rear view mirror and to place yourself as well as possible in the final sprint.
