the essential
Stade Toulousain made short work of Union Bordeaux-Bègles this Friday evening in the Top 14 final on the pitch at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. The “red and black” achieve the Champions Cup-Top 14 double, as was the case in 2021.
Antoine Dupont launches the meeting
From the first minutes of play and as the Toulouse team entered the Bordeaux camp for the first time, the scrum-half offered himself a powerful try.
Peato Mauvala fait le break
He had not scored since the Champions Cup semi-final against Harlequins… Mauvaka, a man of big matches, gave the Toulouse team the try that broke the deadlock and confirmed the “red and black”‘s very good start to the match.
The Dupont festival
The scrum half offered the public at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille a truly beautiful achievement and showed the full extent of his talent by scoring a spectacular try. To eliminate his Bordeaux counterpart Maxime Lucu, the star player chose to kick over the top to follow for himself. The operation is successful. Splendid.
Ramos joins the party
The full-back, who became the new holder of a historic record under the “red and black” colours, scored the fourth try of this match, the first of this second period, to validate once and for all the victory of the Toulousains.
Costes’ gift to Kinghorn
Magnificent interception by Vergé at midfield. He manages to get his arms across to find Costes who shows selflessness to offer the try to Kinghorn.
Capuozzo term en beauté
Following a restart from Toulouse from the parking lot, the entire field is crossed and Capuozzo goes to score at the end of the race on the left side, playing Damian Penaud.
