“Stadium gods”, “stratospheric”, “Super Dupont”: the press raves about Toulouse’s victory

The Toulouse stadium broke all records Friday in final you Top 14 facing theBordeaux-Bègles Union (59-3). A spanking like we had never seen before and unsurprisingly analyzed with emphasis by the press.

The Team logically devotes its front page to the Toulouse triumph with the headline “More than ever the first”, referring here to the historic magnitude of this victory. The champions of France and Europe are described as “gods of the stadium”, carried by “the ogre appetite of an exceptional generation”.

Toulouse organized the UBB “massacre”

Midi Olympic also does not run out of praise for the Toulouse match, similar to a “chainsaw massacre” at the expense of a dropped UBB. A “merciless” Stade Toulousain for RMC Sportwho pushed the envelope to the point of scoring a final try after the siren, after restarting from his in-goal.

In the detail of individual performances, Antoine Dupont is obviously unanimous, but the Englishman Jack Willis also finds a very nice place in this carpet of praise. Both men are dubbed “stratospheric” by Rugby Ramawhich is not stolen.

Dupont superstar, Costes called to order

Dupont, however, attracts a little more attention, due to its media aura, and becomes “Super Dupont” for The Parisiancapable of overcoming the Indian sign of the Vélodrome which had left him with some bad memories in the past.

With such a score, it is difficult to find the slightest criticism of Toulouse’s performance. Le Figaro does not do this any more, expressing surprise at the slightly conspiratorial “slip-up” of young centre Paul Costes, who told journalists after the match “You are only here for the buzz, media bought by the State!” The only false note in a dream evening for Stade Toulousain.
