Head of Top 14, Toulouse bowed down at the end of the 11e day at Lyons (21-14) Sunday, November 27, 2022. Ugo Molathe head coach of the Rouge et Noir, clearly did not appreciate the face displayed by his team after 15 days of vacation.
Toulouse would have carried out “a hold-up”
Ideally launched in the game by a try from the international opener Romain Ntamack (15th), Toulouse has “fallen into a false rhythm” according to Ugo Mola. The latter revealed, at the microphone of Canal +, that his team had not been able to “put energy and rugby”. It is true that the Rouge et Noir experienced a very big technical waste, which prevented them from putting their game in place. The Lou took the opportunity to take off after returning from the locker room (21-7).
In the last 10 minutes, Toulouse reacted. An essay by Alban Placines (79e) brought the Haut-Garonnais very close to the defensive bonus. “We die at 7 points without deserving much,” says Mola. After the meeting, facing the press, he added:
It would have been a heist to take points tonight. We’ll just get back on the bus, drive seven hours, and remember that being a leader doesn’t give us a status of impunity.
Toulouse deprived of many players
The conclusion is there: Toulouse remains on 3 games without a win. Great leader, he saw son advance melt, now only 4 points ahead of its runner-up, La Rochelle. A slowdown which corresponds to the absence of the internationals, 3 having still been put to rest (Ramos, Marchand and Jelonch), while Cyril Baille and Thibaud Flamingo are injured, and Antoine Dupont suspended.
“Everyone has their share of injuries, absent internationals, we know the rules before we start. What is certain is that those who were on the field, in addition to being impacted by missing teammates, they also left something behind on vacation, starting with the energy that must be put into a match. high-level rugby”, a blown, scathing, Ugo Mola.
The latter confessed to having “spent an evening sale”, and had a thought for the viewers evening, hoping “that they didn’t get pissed off” in front of such a spectacle. “After all that we have worked on this week and delivered such a performance, it leaves you wondering. We are going to ask ourselves the right questions”, he finally let go. Saturday December 3, Toulouse will welcome Ernest-Wallon Perpignan with the fierce desire to put forward gear.
