Les Rouge et Noir have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions Cup, thanks to the results they have already acquired. But the match between Stade Toulousain and the Irish of Munster is far from being without stakes. This Sunday, January 22, Toulouse will have the opportunity to take the lead in their pool. The kick-off will be given at Ernest-Wallon, at 4.15 p.m., and the meeting will be broadcast on the antennas of France Tv and BeIn Sports.
To steal the lead from Pool B of the Champions Cup in La Rochelle, the Stadistes must win a bonus victory. This would give the Rouge et Noir a significant advantage for the rest of the competition. Indeed, with the new format of the Champions Cup, the first of his pool plays the final stages at home. When you know the fervor of Ernest-Wallon…
The composition of Stade Toulousain
To try to take the bonus against Munster, Stade Toulousain chose to renew the devilishly effective hinge Dupont Ntamack. Ugo Mola has also decided to start the Englishman Jack Willis in the third row. Dimitri Delibes take the place of Matthis Lebel, with Juan Cruz Mallia to cover the opposite wing. In the back it is Melvin Jaminet who will be the starter and scorer, in the absence of Thomas Ramos.
Whether Francois Cros and Ange Capuozzo are back from injury, they will start the game on the substitutes’ bench. Charlie Faumuinahe entered the infirmary.
