This Sunday, December 22 in the evening, the reigning champion travels to the LOU pitch for his last away match of the year. With the aim of achieving a fifth success in a row.
After two great victories in the Champions Cup, it is time to return to the Top 14 for the “Rouge et Noir”. Currently 2nd in the ranking after the victory of Union Bordeaux Bègles on the Castres pitch (3-13) this Saturday evening, they hope to win to regain the lead in the championship.

In front of them stands a wounded animal. Penultimate in the ranking, LOU has not won since October 13 in the Top 14, making five defeats in a row. The Lyonnais must therefore win to give themselves a little breathing space and not remain in this uncomfortable position of barrage.

This therefore has all the makings of a trap match for Stade Toulousain, which will travel without several of its rested executives (Dupont, Ntamack, Lebel, Marchand, Cros). Ugo and Mola and his staff will fortunately be able to count on the return of other senior members of the squad such as Anthony Jelonch and Pita Akhi.
The match, which will start at 9:05 p.m., will be followed on Canal + and live with commentary on the ladepeche.fr website.
