Stade Toulousain, a true locomotive of French rugby, continues to attract crowds. After attracting crowds for the trip to Lyon in December, it is now the turn of the Stade Marcel-Michelin to have a full house for the reception of the Rouge et Noir during the 16th day of Top 14, scheduled for the weekend of February 15.
Counters closed in a few hours: Toulouse madness
The official press release from ASM Clermont Auvergne is unequivocal: all the seats were snapped up in just a few hours after the ticket office opened.
A craze worthy of a European shock, which once again demonstrates the unique attractiveness of Stade Toulousain. Only a few weigh-in spots remain available, but they should go as quickly as a screwed pass from Dupont.
Stade Toulousain, a sure bet in the Top 14
This is not the first time that Toulouse has attracted crowds, even far from its lair of Ernest-Wallon. With a spectacular game and a host of internationals, the Toulouse residents embody a rugby that appeals to both purists and casual supporters.
Whether traveling or at home, the Stadium continues to break attendance records, as evidenced by the match against Lyon this weekend. The Gerland stadium should indeed break an attendance record.
An appointment not to be missed
This match in Clermont will not just be a popular event. With both teams looking for crucial points for the final phase, the clash promises to be intense. Clermont, which has had a promising start to the season, will try to win against Stade Toulousain which, even deprived of certain executives during the 6 Nations Tournament, remains formidable.
French rugby can rejoice: with such displays and intact fervor, the Top 14 continues to delight. And you, will you be there at the Michelin or in front of your screen?
