Toulouse is dynamic
Thanks to two consecutive victories, the Toulouse stadium has replaced itself in the race for qualification, but the road is still long.
After long weeks of battling to stay in the Top 6, Stade Toulousain managed, thanks to two successes in a row, to move up to third place. It would then be easy to say that the stadium machine, the one that won two Brennus and a European Cup consecutively, is destined to run at the end of the season. The championship is tight and the fight for qualification is still so open five days before the verdict that caution remains in order, especially before going to face a direct competitor, who has the opportunity to once again reverse the balance of power. and ranking if successful. The positions are still fragile. The people of Toulouse are the first to be wary of this under tension, they who do not benefit from the same royal road as the previous spring when they benefited from a comfortable mattress to ensure their qualification, thinking much more of maintaining themselves in the first two places. and thus avoid a play-off, which is not nothing when you have the ambition to play on both counts. This season, in the absence of a red carpet to get them to the final phase, Ugo Mola’s men will have to fight to stay alive until the end of the film, despite the last favorable twist against Lyon as underlined winger Matthis Lebel: “We were in a delicate position a few weeks ago, so we can only be delighted with this victory. Places will be very expensive for the final stages and we see few teams who have managed to stand out compared to the last season. Everyone has something to play for, so it will be important not to give up and take the next games very seriously.”
Stay in control of your destiny
With just two receptions for three trips, the Stadium is forced to impose itself on the outside to remain in control of its destiny and protect itself from a very bad surprise And, there is no doubt, that the champion of France definitely want to be part of a positive dynamic by chaining three victories in a row and thus giving themselves a little comfort over a direct adversary. The month of April must be a springboard towards the end of the season and spring. But, the Toulousans will have to successfully pass this last winter test in view of the climatic conditions announced for this derby.
