a revamped team against Brive? Virgile Lacombe answers without language of wood
Zapping World Fifteen Autumn Tour: The editorial team’s dream XV
After the frustration of elimination in the Champions Cup, Stade Toulousain must quickly switch back to the championship, because the season is not over yet and the race for qualification is crazier than ever.
But a question arises: with which team to face Brive, the opponent of the weekend? Because between the extended quarter-final and a very intense semi-final, the Toulouse team left a lot of energy in the European finals. Virgile Lacombe, staff member, did not fail to point out at a press conference.
Our championship is very long and some players are starting to get tired. We focus our training on body recovery.
We could expect a fairly high turnover from Ugo Mola for the upcoming team composition. But this idea is very quickly swept away by Virgile Lacombe, quite simply because with the stakes of these next matches, it would be unconscious.
We will not rotate in Brive, because we cannot afford to do so and we will put the most efficient team at the moment.
Wise decision, even if the players are exhausted, since Toulouse is only 6th and tied on points with La Rochelle, 7th. No deviation is therefore permitted, and
to summarize
After the frustration of elimination in the Champions Cup, Stade Toulousain must quickly switch back to the championship. But with exhausting European finals, which team to face Brive? Is a turnover possible? Virgile Lacombe answered this question.
