Toulouse and Stade Français face each other this Sunday in a Top 14 Classico not to be missed. Who will emerge victorious from this high-flying duel? Live response from 9:05 p.m….
Rugby fans, don't miss the clash between Stade Toulousain and Stade Français this Sunday evening! This “Classico” of the Top 14, as it is nicknamed, promises to be electric for this 13th day of the championship.
Toulouse wants to resume its march forward
Hanging last weekend on the Lyon field (17-17), Ugo Mola's men have every intention of returning to victory at home. And for good reason, this draw allowed UBB to steal the leadership position from them. The Rouge et Noir have been warned, they will have to pull out all the stops against the Parisians!
As for Stade Français, the dynamic has been a little less good lately. Certainly, they remain on a success against Perpignan (24-7), but the Soldats Roses are only in 10th place in the ranking. Not really what fans expected at the start of the season. Moreover, Gonzalo Quesada's players are only 4 points ahead of the red zone. Suffice to say that a victory in Toulouse would do a lot of good, both financially and mentally!
The challenges of an always thrilling “Classico”
Beyond the historic rivalry between these two monuments of French rugby, the sporting stakes are high. Toulouse must win to regain control of the championship and put pressure on its direct pursuers. An improved victory would even be ideal to perfectly launch the return phase of the Top 14.
Stade Français, for its part, desperately needs points to give itself some air in the standings. After 12 days, the capital club is already behind in the race for the play-offs. But with such a tight and undecided championship, anything remains possible. As long as you make shots, outside at that!
We know that it's always a special match against Toulouse. There is a lot of waiting, a lot of tension. We will give everything to bring back a result from there!
