This Friday evening, the Stade Français went to win after the siren in Toulouse (28-29), during a late match of the 13th day of the Top 14. It is now five defeats in a row for the champions of France In title.
The bad series continues for Toulouse. At the Stadium, Ugo Mola’s players chained a fifth straight defeat in the Top 14 by losing after the siren against Stade Français this Friday evening (28-29). In this match originally scheduled for “boxing day”, the locals had started well in front of their audience. Indeed, from the first minutes, it was Matthis Lebel who scored the first try of the match (9th) and allowed his people to race in the lead. If Nicolas Sanchez reduced the gap thanks to two penalties in a few minutes (12th and 16th), a new try signed Rory Arnold (29th) and the foot of Zack Holmes allowed Toulouse to take an 11 length lead at the break. . After a completely successful first period, the reigning French champions completely broke down when they returned from the locker room. Far from being dropped on the scoreboard, the Parisians gave everything to come back little by little. After an application from each side, from Sanchez (45th) and Holmes (53rd), Sekou Macalou ended up flattening behind the line in favor of the visitors (20-16, 58th).
Segonds crucifies Toulouse after the siren
A few minutes later, Kylian Hamdaoui did the same and the two teams were then tied (23-23, 66th), while Holmes had still passed a penalty beforehand (61st). In the last minutes, after three new points from Joris Segonds, the Toulouse may have thought to make the difference with a third try scored by Antoine Miquel (73rd, 28-26), but it was without counting on their indiscipline. After a failure on each side of the evening scorers, Segonds improved on a foul from the Toulouse scrum to give the victory to Stade Français. After the siren, the opener did not miss and a shot of the same made the Haut-Garonnais a little more. After a superb start to the season, Toulouse is now five defeats in a row in the Top 14 (5th, 43 points). Mola’s team pays dearly for this period of duplication with the XV of France. Reaction expected on February 19 during a trip to Pau. For his part, Gonzalo Quesada and his men took the opportunity to move up to 8th place, three lengths from the top 6.
