Stade Toulousain is putting its Interclub title back on the line!
After two away games, the Stadistes were happy to return to their indoor clay courts. For the players of “93”, evaluating on ocher constitutes a real challenge, those who play twice on their hard court.

But he lost the No. 2 game against Quentin Halys. In 4, Arthur Raymond a surrender to John Talot. The players of 93 were off to a good start but Arthur Cazaux then Benjamin Bonzi have equalized.
