The French champions encountered a setback on their return flight from Marseille, where they won their 23rd Brennus Shield on Friday June 28.
Delayed return for the players and staff of Stade Toulousain, returning from Marseille where they won their 23rd French champion title on Friday June 28, largely beating Bordeaux-Bègles in the final (59-3).
Their return was initially planned for this Saturday 29 at 3:30 p.m., in Toulouse-Blagnac. However, they were unable to take off from Marseille at the scheduled time. According to our information, a crew problem departing from the Marseille city delayed takeoff by several hours.

This delay should not impact the presentation of the Brennus shield at the Capitol, where they are expected around 7:30 p.m. On the other hand, players and staff may not have time to make the planned passage through the Ernest-Wallon stadium, where several rugby league matches are being held this Saturday.
