Half time!
Toulouse outrageously dominates this game against Clermontois (20-0). The score could have been even larger.
The rescue of Fritz Lee!
On the sidelines, Peato Mauvaka escapes from the maul formed by Jelonch. The hooker appears to flatten, but Fritz Lee has his hands in the right place.
Last ammunition
The siren sounded, but captain Thomas Ramos decided to take the sidelines.
Clermont does not materialize
The Toulouse people recover and restart again from their camp. Audacity clearly pays off as Capuozzo breaks through again!
Ntamack is replaced
The image is worrying. Number 10 obviously injured himself. Juan Cruz Mallia replaces him.
Alert for Romain Ntamack
Clermont goes on the offensive again while the fly-half seems to have been injured in the ankle…
This is the Clermont reaction
This is a first real offensive for the Jaunards. George Moala progresses by taking several Toulouse defenders. Cynical foul by Ntamack who deliberately hits the ball.
Ramos scolded himself
20-0 now, be careful the first period turns into a correction
Essai de Peato Mauvaka!
Devastating! Clermont fails to break free and at 14 the score continues to grow… 18-0
It’s nearby!
22 meters in front of the posts, Thomas Ramos misses his chance… Still 13-0
Yellow card for Ojovan
The Moldovan pillar is overwhelmed, like his entire team. He pays for her indiscipline. Already 9 penalties against Christophe Urios’ men. Thomas Ramos takes the points…
One-sided start to the match
Ange Capuozzo inherited the ball a few meters from the goal. The winger takes the interval and hits an incredible overflow shot against Tauzin. Toulouse has all the balls and occupies the field.
Ramos transform
The rear remains at 100%. 13-0
Capuozzo Festival and here is the first try
The Italian makes up for his mistake. 11-0
Ahki accelerates again
Ramos, Delibes then Ahki… We don’t wait on the Toulouse side and we restart from their camp.
Thomas Ramos assure
At 5 meters facing the poles, it works logically. 6-0
This time Toulouse wants to collect points
Saito advances, the action rebounds but the supports have not followed… The referee returns to a line offside. Penalty in front of the poles, this time Thomas Ramos takes his chance.
No downtime!
Toulouse gets a nice penalty within 22 meters and Saito continues to accelerate by playing this ball quickly!
It’s very difficult for Clermont
Jelonch hits the center of the field and approaches 22 meters… But Georges Moala manages to block the French third line. Very strong solidarity in defense for the Jaunards.
Capuozzo harvest a ready-made test!
Toulouse attacks in all directions! Thomas Ramos relies on Dimitri Delibes who eliminates Delguy and breaks through… Saito makes the game bounce back while the Clermont defense is at bay. Ahki offers a caviar to Capuozzo, alone to score, but the Italian does not control the ball. It’s miraculous for the people of Auvergne.
Toulouse throws all the balls back
The Red and Black are afraid of nothing. Crazy move from Paul Costes who launches an offensive from the dismissal. A big risk taken which could have been costly, since the Clermontois recovered the ball within 22 meters. Warning free of charge for the moment…
Thomas Ramos opens the scoring
The international full-back does not tremble. 3-0
Ahki punchy as always
Toulouse recovered by relying on Pita Ahki. The center knocks down three defenders and Toulouse obtains a penalty 40 meters away, slightly off-center from the posts. We take the points.
Newsome’s breakthrough!
Clermont is still under pressure and falls back after a huge tackle from Ntamack on Tauzin. However, the Jaunards find the loophole. Newsome takes advantage of a Toulouse defensive error to tear the defensive curtain… But, the rear is lacking solutions at the entrance to the 22 meters. Thomas Ramos saves the Red and Black.
Waterproof defense of Clermontois
What a sequence! The Toulouse players sweep the field from left to right, Saito energizes the attack. But Clermontois recover the ball and Urdapilleta clears.
Ball recovered by Roumat
Kick-off perfectly executed by Romain Ntamack. It’s high, short and Alexandre Roumat is the first to receive. Toulouse attacks hard.
Here we go!
The Toulouse residents kick off! Pierre-Baptiste Nuchy will be the referee of the match.
Time for the match!
Both teams enter the field. One of the classics of the championship will begin!
Saito gets thicker
The explosive Japanese, Naoto Saito, starts. Arriving in the off-season, the scrum half is gradually establishing himself in the Toulouse rotation. Extremely dynamic, it brings a huge dose of freshness at the start of the season.
Competing with Paul Graou to be Antoine Dupont’s understudy, the Japanese player has a great opportunity to score points this evening.
Afternoon results
The weekend started very strongly on the French lawns. Bayonne crushed La Rochelle at Anoeta, in the lair of Real Sociedad (37-7), while Union Bordeaux-Bègles retained its leadership position by beating Perpignan (66-12). Unfortunately, the Bordelais lost Nicolas Depoortère after a violent head impact.
All results here.
The people of Toulouse have arrived
The traditional guard of honor was carried out for the people of Toulouse. The atmosphere rises in the spans of Ernest-Wallon.
Last season for Urdapilleta in Top 14
He is an emblematic player of the French championship who will retire. Argentine fly-half Benjamin Urdapilleta has confirmed that he will end his career at the end of the season. At 38 years old, he remains a key element of Christophe Urios’s system.
Arriving in 2012, the native of Buenos Aires will have known three clubs in France: Oyonnax, Castres and Clermont. He participated in a total of 228 matches for 2386 points scored.
Tauzin finds Ernest-Wallon
Lucas Tauzin returns to Stade Ernest-Wallon this evening. Lacking playing time, the former Toulouse player joined Clermont. This season, he participated in five out of six possible matches in the yellow and blue jersey.
Toulouse, the breakdown?
After an almost perfect start to the season, with three victories in three matches, Ugo Mola’s men have been suffering for two days. They have just had two consecutive defeats against Bordeaux and Castres. The Rouge et Noir want to get back on track this evening against ASM Clermont.
105 days later Dupont finds the fifteenth
After a prosperous summer punctuated by an Olympic gold medal with the French Sevens team, the world rugby star returned to his favorite discipline. The reigning French and European champion, replacement, will wear number 21.
Its potential entry will be closely scrutinized.
