Stade-Toulousain faces a major challenge in South Africa
A difficult but victorious Saturday
This weekend, Stade-Toulousain faced the Durban Sharks during the third day of the Champions Cup, on South African soil. Although the overall performance did not live up to expectations, the Toulouse players were able to obtain a valuable victory.
Regrets despite success
Antoine Dupont, leading figure of the team, expressed his disappointment about the absence of bonus points, a goal which could have been achieved. However, this is not the only downside of this meeting.
Santiago Chocobares, injured
One of the notable moments of the match was the incident involving center Santiago Chocobares. After only 25 minutes of play, he had to leave the field following an impressive shock, which caused him to temporarily lose consciousness.
Reassuring news from the state of Chocobares
Asked after the match, Stade-Toulousain manager Ugo Mola provided information on the condition of Santiago Chocobares. According to him, although the player suffered notable discomfort on the field, he quickly came to his senses in the locker room. He assured that his condition is reassuring, although continued monitoring is planned. Mola insisted on the importance of not rushing his return and of taking all necessary precautions.
An expected but cautious return
Santiago Chocobares will not be able to take part in the next match against Leicester in eight days. Despite this absence, the Stadium’s supporters can be reassured by the fact that it seems to be recovering well from this incident. Caution remains in order, but the player’s health seems to be developing favorably.
