Toulouse: the Castres president met his supporters on guard before the derby
Zapping World Fifteen RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP: The editorial team’s dream XV
This 22nd day of TOP 14 is marked by a special derby weekend, and who says derby therefore says electric atmosphere. The president of Castres Olympique, Pierre-Yves Revol, says that his team will need his public to overcome the champion of France.
However, he wanted to send a message to his supporters regarding the good performance of the match. He will be intransigent concerning the attitude of his public and does not want to relive the same events during the match against Montpellier.
Indeed, after the expulsion of the Botitu center by Tual Trainini at the very end of the match, many supporters had risen up by attacking the referee of the match with a big blow of insult. For RMC, he warned about the derby against Stade Toulousain:
”Of course we talk within the club. On a loyal, passionate audience. And then there was a skid during a match, I’m not afraid to talk about it. Insults. Insults you hear in a football stadium, not in a rugby stadium.
But I think the club reacted with a lot of virulence. And the club is raising awareness of new spectators this Saturday. Me, there are things that I will never accept in a stadium. And you can count on me for the club to respect this position.
to summarize
Pierre-Yves Revol wants this match against Stade Toulousain to take place with respect and the values of rugby. After an incident against Montpellier, the president warns that no overflow will be accepted.
