The two finalists in brief
The Toulouse stadium – current title holder and already 22-time French champion – is the ogre of this final with his track record and his host of internationals (Romain N’Tamack, Thomas Ramos and the star of the moment Antoine Dupont, among others. ..).
In front, Bordeaux-Bègles Union is clearly the outsider since the Girondins are reaching the final for the first time in their history. But the team continues to strengthen (several internationals also in its ranks) and progress (in the semi-finals of the Top 14 these last four years). Suffice to say that the UBB intends to sell its skin dearly and create a surprise.
