They are one of the teams in good form at the moment Top 14, and she's on her way Toulouse stadium, for a poster that looks very indecisive. Sunday November 3, 2024, Rowing Bayonnais receives Toulouse at the end of the 9th day of the championship.
Toulouse, leader, on a trip to Bayonne, surprising 3rd
On paper, the Red and Black, leaders of the Top 14 with 29 points and six victories in eight matches, have a head start, especially as they have been full of confidence by crushing Toulon at Ernest-Wallon.
But beware Bayonne, who achieved a great start to the season: with five successes on the clock, his 22 points allow him to appear in the 3ᵉ place, behind Bordeaux-Bègles.
Eight internationals missing
The Stadistes, who remain on three successes in a rowwill try to continue away… while being deprived of their battalion of internationals. His team still being the biggest provider of the French team, Ugo Mola had to do without 11 players these last few days…
Called up by Fabien Galthié with the Blues, three of them were finally released (Joshua Brennan, Anthony Jelonch and Mathis Lebel), but eight other captains will miss the call: Peato Mauvaka, Thibaud Flament, Emmanuel Meafou, François Cros, Alexandre Roumat, Antoine Dupont, Paul Costes and Thomas Ramos.
The infirmary of Stade Toulousain remains full, with around ten players still injured, including Julien Marchand and Romain Ntamack.
A player called to the Blues in Bayonne
On the Bayon side, the teammates of Camille Lopez and ex-Toulouse Baptiste Germain will have to do without a player who has stood out in recent weeks: the explosive pillar Tevita Tatafu, who is making his debut with the French XV.
You will have understood: Ugo Mola rediscovers the joys of duplicates. Faced with a Bayonne team with consecutive successes against big teams (La Rochelle, Racing and Lyon), and which has had four consecutive victories at home, the head coach of Stade Toulousain will be cut off from numerous executives and will have to line up one reshuffled team.
That said – and it proved it many times away from home last season – the Stadium has internal resources to win at Jean Dauger, where he has not won since December 5, 2020 and a narrow victory (24 to 20).
