Zapping Fifteen World The meetings of the XV of France in 2025: complete calendar of the 6 nations tournament
A new pitfall for the Toulouse stadium. Despite an almost perfect group stage, where they will have left only a small point on the way, the red and black knew each other in front of a particularly difficult final phase. After their feat in Toulon, the men of Ugo Mola will have to do this in a half, by going to the lawn of the Atlantic Matmut to challenge the Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
Invited to project yourself on this meeting in remarks reported by The dispatchthe Toulouse technician warned his players, reminding them of their last meeting in this stadium, a few weeks earlier in Top 14 (32-24 defeat).
“I hope we will go a little more relaxed in the Matmut”
“What I can tell you is that our journey is not easy. So after, whether Bordeaux or others, the course is strewn with pitfalls, large teams and quality opponents. In any case, we, by winning, we had no choice but to play elsewhere in Bordeaux. Even more when the Bordelais qualified (against the Munster, editor’s note). So suddenly, we find ourselves going to make a semi-final there. The last semi-final that we played against Bordeaux in Champions Cup was during the COVID, where the stadiums were behind closed doors (in 2021, editor’s note). We still put a lot of pressure at home in Ernest-Wallon, before going to play La Rochelle in Twickenham. So I hope we will go a little more relaxed in the Matmut. Not too much to avoid the 29-0 of the championship but enough to put our rugby in place. »»
To summarize
Ugo Mola projected himself on the semi-final of Champions Cup against the Union Bordeaux-Bègles, at the final whistle of the victory of the Toulouse stadium in Toulon. The red and black coach is impatiently awaiting this shock.
