Toulouse retains its title after crushing Bordeaux! Another double for the Toulousains!

What a demonstration from Stade Toulousain in the first half of this final! The reigning champions were very realistic, very effective against a feverish and messy Bordeaux team. At half-time, the score was 22-3 for Toulouse, with three tries scored by the Stade players: two by Dupont, one by Mauvaka (the hooker had his second try disallowed at the end of the half).

The score changed in the 44th minute after a ground fault from Tameifuna, increasingly in difficulty with his shoulder, which allowed Ramos to score three more points for his team (25-3). We’re obviously starting on the same basis as in the first half… Bru is starting to make changes to try to bring a new dynamic to his team.

A real Toulouse demonstration!

In the 54th minute, new danger for Bordeaux who find themselves with a defensive scrum 5m from their in-goal area. The Bordeaux team tries to come back, Depoortère kicks but it is Mallia who recovers the ball in turn. Ammunition wasted by the Bordeaux team, always too much sanctioned, and who already do not control much anymore.

The last quarter of an hour will turn into a correction for Bordeaux, with the Toulousains who will score no less than four new tries: one from Ramos in the 64th minute, one from Marchand in the 68th minute, one from Kinghorn in the 71st minute, and another from Ramos in the 75th minute. The score is 47-3 with 5 minutes left in the match. We can feel the Bordeaux players completely desperate while on the Toulousains’ side, smiles start to appear on their faces.

It’s a one-sided match, and it’s not even over since in the 78th minute, Ainu’u scores another try in the 78th minute, and Capuozzo will also score. The final score is 59 to 3. What a demonstration from Stade Toulousain who retain their title of champion of France and do, like three years ago, the Top 14-Champions Cup double.
