TOP 14. At the back of Toulouse, the first signs of annoyance from Thomas Ramos
You who were connected to your Canal decoder this Sunday evening, you certainly did not miss a beat of the superb clash between UBB and Toulouse. Points, suspense, drama, there was cut almost everything in this match broadcast in prime time. Led largely at the break, after 3 Bordeaux tries in the first period, the Toulouse team finally got away with a more precise and realistic second act, driven in particular by the freshness of their bench. So, in the 52nd minute, the red and black staff had already coached 7 times. The coach said at half-time that he wanted to do early turnover to try to get the rhythm back and hurt them”, explained Melvyn Jaminet, as reported by FranceBleu.fr. A winning coaching, both the entries from the back of the XV of France but also from Arthur Retière in particular, brought new life to the stadium players, until they won.

But a coaching that does not, it seems, more to everyone. Thomas Ramos the first, hit by his exit in the 50th minute of play. “I don’t know if playing 50 minutes as a full-back is very interesting. It’s part of the game we’ll see what the next matches are made of. When you play 50 minutes, it’s often that you play on the front line. At the back, you are more used to playing 80 minutes. Today I only did 50. We’ll see next weekend.” A first media outing which already denotes a certain annoyance on the part of the titular back of Stade Toulousain for several seasons. Especially with such a competitor who knows it, will want to put the odds on his side in this World Cup season, to keep his place in the club, but also why not hang a ticket in the France group. And whose extension in Toulouse had not been, we remembered, not done without reconnecting.

The fact remains that beyond the efficiency of Ugo Mola’s choices in this match – Melvyn Jaminet notably slamming a 45-meter penalty on the sidelines – this is a new aspect that everyone will have to understand as well as possible on the side of the pink city this year: the competition. Because if last year the “executives” were more or less assured of having their place, the multiple arrivals in the line of 3/4 completely reshuffled the cards this season. Do you think that the phenomenon Ange Capuozzo was not in the group for this first championship match! One thing is certain, places will be expensive for Ernest-Wallon this season; and that, everyone seems – already – to have understood it well…
