REPLAY. Champions Cup: Stade Toulousain largely dominates Sale! Relive the film of the meeting
After having started well with a success in Munster last week, the “Rouge et Noir” intended to glean a second success in a row, this Sunday, December 18, against the English of Sale. They won 45-19.
Don’t stumble and above all, don’t look down on these English people. This Sunday, December 18, the rugby players of Stade Toulousain challenged the English of Sale, on behalf of the second day of the Champions Cup.
The “Rouge et Noir” who performed in an Ernest-Wallon stadium once again sold out. In the first match, last week, the Toulouse managed to extricate themselves from the Irish fog and win on the ground of Munster.
So, easy, this Sunday, against the English? Anything but that. Sale is certainly not a European giant with only three quarter-finals to its name (all of them lost against French clubs: Biarritz 2005/2006 season, La Rochelle 2020/2021 season and Racing last season), but this Dirty, with a clever mix of English internationals (the Curry brothers, the pillar Rodd, the second row Hill) and South Africans (the hooker Van der Merwe, the third rows Dan du Preez and Jean-Luc du Preez ) seems armed this season to play elbows with the top names.
