The meteoric rise of Leo Banos within Stade Toulousain does not go unnoticed. The third row, who has brilliantly seized his chance since the start of the season, does not hide his admiration and respect for a player in particular: François Croswhich in his eyes constitutes a real model.
A model named François Cros
Pour Leo Banos, François Cros is much more than a teammate; he is a reference in his way of playing and behaving as a high-level athlete.
“François Cros is a shadow player, but he is easy and clean in everything he does, it’s impressive,”
Leo Banos
Trust Banos during a press conference. These words demonstrate the young player’s desire to model his game on that of Cros, an accomplished athlete recognized for his discretion and efficiency on the pitch.
Seize every opportunity with humility
Permanently integrated into the Toulouse club, Leo Banos finds himself at the heart of one of the most formidable third lines in the world. Aware of the fierce competition that reigns, he does not let himself be intimidated and remains focused on his objective:
“I give everything to help the team as much as possible,”
Leo Banos
He insists, demonstrating his desire to contribute at every moment to collective success.
A promising future and challenges ahead
Although the road is still long and strewn with obstacles, Banos is optimistic and hardworking:
“Everything is happening very quickly, there is so much quality. I try to learn quickly, get inspired by others, position myself well and it will be fine. »

Taking advantage of the absence of certain teammates, he has already started seven times, a testimony to the confidence placed in him by the technical staff of Stade Toulousain.
The immediate issue: The trip to Lyon
Next step for Leo Banos : the trip to Lyon this Sunday, December 22, a match that the young player is approaching seriously, aware of the importance of bringing points to his team.
His state of mind, a mixture of determination and humility, is an encouraging sign for Stade Toulousain which can count on talents like Banos to enrich his game and his record.
In a Top 14 world where rugby stars compete, Leo Banos embodies the enthusiasm and commitment necessary to leave its mark on the prestigious French championship.
