Toulouse without Dupont, Marchand and Jelonch in La Rochelle
Stade Toulousain will travel to the lawn of the reigning European champion, La Rochelle, without its internationals Antoine Dupont, Julien Marchand and Anthony Jelonch next Saturday during the 15th day of the season in the Top 14.
Stade Toulousain put a few players on rest this week. The captain of the XV of France, Antoine Dupont, will not be traveling to La Rochelle next Saturday during the 15th day of the season in Top 14.
Being twelve points ahead of third place gives Stade Toulousain some comfort. After his brilliant victory in Clermont on Sunday (13-32), the leader of the Top 14 continues to give his executives a little rest. After Peato Mauvaka and Romain Ntamack in Auvergne, other internationals are taking time off this week.
A complicated month of January for Stade Toulousain
In the first place Antoine Dupont. On the bridge in the European Cup then against Castres and Clermont, where he played at the opening, the captain of the fifteen of France will be able to breathe. He will not be traveling to Marcel Deflandre, just like Julien Marchand and Anthony Jelonch, also left to rest.
The second international line Thibaud Flament (muscular tension), the center Pita Akhi, always in difficulty with a knee and Ange Capuozzo (hand), too tight will not be on the trip either. Conversely, Chocobares, Fouyssac and the international third line François Cros apply. The latter has not played since mid-September.
After his trip to the lawn of the reigning European champion, Stade Toulousain will find Sale before receiving Munster. January will end with the reception of Montpellier, currently in the fight for the play-offs.
