a coach makes revelations about the atmosphere at Stade Toulousain
Zapping World Fifteen RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP: The editorial team’s dream XV
Stade Toulousain is really struggling in the league. This series of six consecutive defeats, unheard of in the history of the club, is really a task and pushes the reigning French champion towards the exit of the Top 6.
After their defeat against the Section Paloise last weekend, the Rouge et Noir went to breathe fresh air for a few days in the Landes, for a scene. And this Sunday, it’s a huge meeting that awaits them at home, in Ernest-Wallon, with the reception of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, leader of the championship.
This match, this shock, undoubtedly comes at the worst time for a Toulouse team cut off from its best elements who are in selection (no Toulouse player was released by the staff in the middle of the week). Clément Poitrenaud, former legend of the club and now a member of Ugo Mola’s staff, appointed to France Bleu that serenity is not completely there: “The group is a bit tense, necessarily. It’s normal, we would be surprised if this is not the case. There are players who have experience in this team who take their responsibilities and who will have to take them on Sunday The youngsters are full of energy but must be supervised by boys who must bring the whole group to more confidence and to their best level.”
More confidence, the Toulouse people indeed need it to revive and avoid a seventh disappointment. Many teams are knocking on the doors of the Top 6 and are in a much better dynamic than the Haut-Garonne, who are definitely living a period of doubling more than delicately.
to summarize
Stade Toulousain is really struggling in the league, with a series of six consecutive defeats in the league. This Sunday, the Haut-Garonnais receive the leader of the Top 14, the UBB. A shock that falls at the worst time.
