“We are aware of what awaits us” assures Matthis Lebel
Zapping World Fifteen Grand Slam, competition with Léo Coly, Mondial 2023…
Leader of the Top 14, Stade Toulousain will attack its European campaign this Sunday by being one of the favorites for the final coronation. Beginnings that will set the tone since the five-time winner of the competition will move on the lawn of the Munster team. The latter who will want to take her revenge after the defeat suffered last May after an incredible penalty shootout.
Before this confrontation, Matthis Lebel gave himself up to Rugbyrama about this poster that looks like the final stages.
It’s special, because it’s always been a stronghold of rugby. Over the past three years, we have been playing against this team all the time (smiles). And it was always incredible matches. Things have turned in our favor twice but, believe me, Munster are anything but an easy opponent to play. In any case, it’s always exciting to play this kind of meeting.
Placed shortly after the end of the November tour, the minds of the selected ones are still in international mode. A plus for the Tricolor wing to deal with this type of meeting with high stakes.
“All the experiences are enriching. We are lucky, as we know, to have a large squad in Toulouse, with many players having the privilege of being internationals. Perhaps this can prepare us for experiencing European emotions “Especially since we are aware of what awaits us in Munster, with such an audience. It can only be beneficial to have boys in the group capable of often playing international matches.”
