Champions Cup – Toulouse: Flament and Tolofua back before facing Munster
If Stade Toulousain lost its right pillar Charlie Faumuina last weekend in Sale, the Rouge et Noir can count on Thibaud Flament and Selevasio Tolofua against Munster on Sunday.
Due to the difficult weather conditions, Stade Toulousain was forced to adapt its training program at the start of the week. Ugo Mola’s men finally returned to the field on Wednesday, four days after their victory at Sale. The good news came from the returns of Thibaud Flament and Selevasio Tolofua. The second line, retained in the list of the XV of France to prepare for the 6 Nations Tournament, had been affected in the hamstrings since the end of December and is now available. Like the third line, who had a bicep injury. They apply for the reception of Munster on Sunday.
Faumuina at a standstill
The three-quarter center Pita Ahki, who is done with his knee problem and had been integrated into the extended group last weekend, is also suitable. On the other hand, the right pillar Charlie Faumuina, who felt pain in a calf during his warm-up in the middle of the match on Saturday, is on the flank. Victim of a small injury, the All Black could be absent for several weeks.
Hooker Peato Mauvaka, scrum-half Paul Graou and versatile quarterback Lucas Tauzin are still unavailable. For full-back Thomas Ramos, his five-week suspension will end on Sunday evening. If he cannot be aligned against the Irish province, he will leave in the wake of an internship with the Blues.
