How good is this victory! Saturday April 16, 2022, the teammates ofAntoine Dupont managed to win (23-30) on the lawn of the Irish of Ulster. A gap sufficient to compensate for the defeat of the first leg (20-26).
Ulster reduced to 14
However, the evening got off to a bad start for the Rouge et Noir since Ethan Mcilroy scored the first try of the match for the locals (11and, 7-3). In the aftermath, Thomas Ramos (22and10-13) and Romain Ntamack (27and, 10-20) imitate the Irishman and give the advantage to Stade Toulousain. As we head towards half-time, Ethan Mcilroy relapses and reduces the mark (38and17-20).
The Irish will no longer score a single try in a row. John Cooney will still pass two penalties in the last 40 minutes. Insufficient to maintain the lead of six points acquired in the first leg. An even more difficult mission after the red card received by the pillar Tom O’Tooleless than five minutes after returning to the field.
The winning attempt for Antoine Dupont
Who says Stade Toulousain, says Antoine Dupont. The captain of XV of France has, once again, endorsed the costume of the savior by coming to register a saving test on the left of the poles (75and).
Thomas Ramos, who has just passed a penalty, does not need to be asked. He transforms to the delight of the Stadistes. Final note : 23-30. Stade Toulousain qualifies for the quarter-finals of the European Cup.
