essential
He spent more than a half-time “locked up” before exploding in the Matmut sun, this Sunday, May 4, during the semi-final of Champions Cup lost by Toulouse in Bordeaux (35-18). Anthony Jelonch has not returned for nothing.
Here, well in the north of the historic setting of Lescure where, on Sunday in May 1971, Roger Fabien had deprived Jack Cantoni in light but no title (it is in history), in the shade of the Vélodrome where Boardman, Obree, Indurain and Rominger had broken the world record of the hour (it’s bicycle), Matthieu Jalibert is at home. Far from the harassment of winter, it can count on family support and the good winding winds of the Atlantic.

VIDEO. UBB-Stade Toulousain: the video summary of the elimination of “red and black” in the semi-final of champions cup
When he leaves his comrades despite this transformation to the left of the posts following the powerful test of Bochaton, a long clamor invites him to applaud this precious audience in turn. The ballet of the changes is in full swing, he gives way to Joey Carbery.
In the camp opposite, and under the eyes, (in the stands unfortunately, we know it, it hurts us, it weighs us, it weighs them above all but it is still necessary to repeat it …), of his friend Gascon Antoine Dupont, Anthony Jelonch has already supplemented Roumat Junior for a good time having stayed in the chicheos a little more Gersois. This is true before during raids with a cord without ever losing either the terrain, or the essential, the ball, it is also true to serve very hot of the defensive boxes as effective as … legal.

INTERVIEW. UBB-Stade Toulousain: “We have the balls …” The uncompromising analysis of Pierre-Louis Barassi after the elimination of Toulouse
He alerts and launches Mallia with a bright chistera
Ten minutes from the end, while the time tumbles in the wrong direction and it would be necessary to mark twice to come back (a detail, usually for the stadium, but not yesterday), the Toulousains benefit from a fray, one of their (very) strong points of this penultimate march for Cardiff. Naoto Saito who replaced a well-busy Paul Graou since the start introduced, Jelonch chooses a start on the right of the pack and immediately alerts Mallia behind, on a three-quarter chistera. The front walk is started, the meters parade, you have to mark the test which could, despite everything, let hope. It is essential at this time of the match but after several times of play, Ange Capuozzo eats the excess on a bad pass to Ahki, Barassi was there too … Touche, clearance, he will not remain more to hope.

UBB-Stade Toulousain: “Too much celebrating this semi-final could cost us dearly …” Yannick Bru does not pay in the euphoria after the victory
“It will be a big fight, a big match in Bordeaux” had prophesied Anthony Jelonch after the qualification. He will now have to “be satisfied” from the continuation, just as exciting, do not doubt, with, perhaps, in a few days a new version of eternal revenge. Bordeaux and Toulouse remain very “concerned” by the Top 14.
