scored twelve tries (80-12) against Leicesterthis Sunday, January 19 in Ernest-Wallon, for the 4th day of Champions Cup. Story of a non-match.

A match for second place

While the UBB crushed the Sharks (66-12) and secured first place in group A, the Stadistes entered the ring to finish best second of the four groups to guarantee at least a round of 16 at home. The least we can say is that they fulfilled the contract.

The Stadium strikes six times

You shouldn't be late. An excellent breakthrough from Barassi in the axis allows a penalty 10 meters from the poles. It doesn't take more forAntoine Dupont scored the first try (6ᵉ) after a quick play from Ramos, whileIsaiah Peres comes out on yellow card. The Stadium then hums for a while, before starting without stopping, thanks to an impulse from Antoine Dupont, who serves Ange Capuozzo along the sidelines and who allows Dimitri Delibes to flatten (15e).

In the process, a great collective action allows Emmanuel New to add his name to the list of scorers (17th). BeforeAnge Capuozzo does not score the fourth try, synonymous with an offensive bonus (21st) and that Julien Marchand (24) and Emmanuel New (33ᵉ) do not drive the point home. The English push to score a try, but the Stade armada does not even grant them this satisfaction. Thomas Ramos transformed all his attempts. Halftime score: 42-0.

The Red and Black are delaying

Honor is saved from the start. Jack Van Poortvliet single-handedly deceives the Toulouse defense and Jamie Shillcock transforms (44e). However, visitors barely have time to rejoice until Thibaud Flament corner mark (46e), followed by the first miss at the foot of Ramos. Ange Capuozzo Then comes his double with a sprint over 50 meters and an easy slalom in the middle of disappointed Foxes (53e).

The English are not giving up. A try by Solomone Kata was first canceled (61st) after viewing the video, for a screen by Perese on Ntamack. Then Will Hurd temporarily reduces the gap, after using the video again (66e). Before the final warning shots: tests of Thomas Ramos (67e), Thibaud Flament (72e), Antoine Dupont (76e) et Mathis Lebel (80e).

The next match at the Stadium will still be at home, against Saturday January 25 at 2 p.m.
