the worrying stat of Stade Toulousain away
Zapping World Fifteen Interview Remi Bonfils: Ntamack / Jalibert who to take the reins?
Stade Toulousain lost on Saturday night in Marseille to Rugby Club Toulonnais. A defeat that Toulouse will largely regret, since it endangers their qualification (acquired for the moment since the Haut-Garonne club occupies 6th place in the championship). But above all, because Ugo Mola’s men were leading 12-6 at half-time. All this to lose in the end 19-15.
This latest defeat is in addition to a fairly substantial series of defeats in the league away from home: Toulouse are 9 defeats away from home. Far from the standards that the reigning French champion can display.
It has also been a while since Stade Toulousain had such a bad away record at the same time of the season. We must go back, for this, to the 2016-2017 financial year when the Rouge et Noir, in twelve trips played over 23 days, had won … only two matches. This season had been particularly bad for Stade Toulousain, which had collapsed and finished in 12th place in the standings at the end of the regular season.
to summarize
With its defeat against Toulon last Saturday, Stade Toulousain is down to 9 defeats in the league. A fairly poor record that the Rouge et Noir have not known for a while.
