After helping to break the attendance record in the history of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille yesterday during the Top 14 final against Union Bordeaux-Bègles, the Stade Toulousain players will be back with their fans this Saturday evening for the famous ceremony organised at the Capitole to welcome the champions.
The bus has arrived at Place du Capitole!
Hundreds of fans in attendance cheer the players on top of a double-decker bus.
Waiting for the “big ones”…
While the Stade Toulousain players are expected in the next few minutes at Place du Capitole, the Espoirs, also French champions by beating their neighbours from Castres in the final, are presented to the supporters.
Expected arrival at 8:10 p.m. at the Capitol
The Stade Toulousain bus should arrive around 8:10 p.m. on the Place du Capitole, where thousands of supporters are already in place. The “red and black” will stop in front of Cyril Baille’s house to show Brennus’ shield to their colleague, injured during the semi-final.
Why were the people of Toulouse delayed?
The French champions experienced a setback during their return flight from Marseille, where they won their 23rd Brennus Shield on Friday June 28. WE EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO YOU.
That’s it, the Brennus is in Toulouse!
Much late, the players arrived shortly before 7:30 p.m. at Toulouse-Blagnac airport, and were able to present the coveted Brennus shield to the supporters. Some of them waited for long hours, the initial arrival time was 3:30 p.m.
