To prepare for their trip to Marseille on Saturday, where they will face Toulon, the Toulousains must obviously digest their elimination in champions cup. And switch to the continuation, continuing to manage the workforce and emulation in the group.
The start of the week is studious on the side of the Toulouse stadium. Two days after the defeat in the semi-finals of Champions Cup in Bordeaux on Sunday, the Red and Black have already spent time in the video room to analyze this meeting, which necessarily leaves great regrets internally. The idea is obviously to put your finger on the shortcomings observed at the Atlantic Matmut, digest the disappointment and use it to bounce back quickly. Especially since the Toulousains are currently leaders of the French championship and still have a title to defend in Top 14.
To prepare for the trip to Marseille on Saturday, where they will face Toulon, the front stadists did a light session this Tuesday afternoon, in which Théo Ntamack participated. Injured in an ankle, the third line was not available for the half of Champions Cup. This time he is fit for the coming weekend. Just like the second line Joshua Brennan, which was however in the extended group in Bordeaux. On the other hand, Richie Arnold is still absent. Touched with ischios, the Australian is expected to miss several weeks.
No risk for Ramos and Kinghorn
Same observation for Blair Kinghorn (knee) and Thomas Ramos (calf), two of the great absent from the semi-final. No risk will be taken concerning them and it could miss the next two Top 14 meetings, especially since the club will then be forced rest during the weekend of the Champions Cup final. This should allow the injured to refine their recovery.
Finally, if Antoine Dupont (knee) and Peato Mauvaka (knee) have already completed their season, several players are spared at the start of the week, to manage their physical condition after the Battle of Bordeaux. They are Rodrigue Neti, Jack Willis, Dimitri Delibes and Juan Cruz Mallia. Malachi Hakwes is also managed. Setareki Bituniyata (knee) and Nepo Laulala (Achilles tendon) are always unavailable.
