French Champion for the 23rd time this Friday evening at the expense of Bordeaux, Stade Toulousain presented not one but two trophies this Saturday in Toulouse. Not forgetting the titles of the Espoirs and the Handisport section.
The red and black not only won the Brennus this season but also the Champions Cup. Achieving a third double in the process to the delight of their supporters.
Which had already gathered in large numbers a few weeks ago during the presentation of the European Cup. According to the Dispatch, there were no less than 11,000.
This Saturday, thousands of fans from Stade Toulousain also waited and then celebrated their champions on the Place du Capitole. Patience was required as the group was delayed. And it was only at 7:30 p.m. that they landed in Toulouse instead of 3:30 p.m.
Scrum-half and man of the final Antoine Dupont and English flanker Jack Willis enjoyed the crowd, rock star style.
A beautiful communion with the supporters, including a clapping with the players from the bus. Like the players, the Toulousains never seem to be satisfied with the titles.
We don’t know if the party will continue for several days like last year. What we do know, however, is that the time for a well-deserved vacation has arrived. Well, not for everyone, since Antoine Dupont will be on deck with the French 7-man team for the Olympic Games.
