Zapping World Fifteen Autumn Tour: The editorial team’s dream XV

Stade Toulousain and Montpellier Hérault Rugby met this Sunday evening for a late match of the 15th day of Top 14. Note that some French internationals, like Romain Ntamack and François Cros, came to attend the meet and support their teammates, who need victories to find the Top 6.

Toulouse had a perfect start to the match with a try from the 1st minute, scored by Mallia after a crazy run! The Stade shows a very good face, while the Montpellier are more struggling, despite a try opportunity in the 10th minute from the young Louis Foursans (the try is refused for a forward). This scenario is repeated even at the half-hour mark with a new try refused because the ball is never flattened, which results in a goal kick-off.

This first part of the match is a bit choppy. Also note the wind, which is a factor to be taken into account. And beware of Toulouse who, even if they lead, commit a lot of forwards.
