Top 14 Final – Thomas Ramos (Toulouse) ready to make history

Thomas Ramos could become the best scorer in the history of Stade Toulousain, this Friday against Union Bordeaux Bègles in the Top 14 final. A starter, the full-back is now only five points behind Jean-Baptiste Elissalde.

“We want to make history for our club and our sport.” Thomas Ramos did not hide his ambition, at a press conference before the Top 14 final against Bordeaux. Ugo Mola’s players are aiming for a double, European Cup/Championship. A performance achieved by two clubs: Toulouse (1996 and 2021) and Toulon (2014). The Stade Toulousain full-back could also break an individual record this Friday.

At just 28 years old and almost 50 games less, the Mazamet native could become the best scorer in the history of the Rouge et Noir ahead of Jean-Baptiste Elissalde (1776 points). With 1772 points on the clock, he is only five units away from surpassing this symbolic mark. A paltry figure for this outstanding scorer, used to shining in major events. During the last Top 14 final, he scored a whopping 19 points.

We’re looking forward to the final between Toulouse and UBB!

Ready to become number 1 in the championship?

However, the number 15 is still far from the best scorer in the history of the French championship, Romain Teulet. The former player of Castres Olympique (2001-2014) still largely reigns over the ranking with 2612 points. “Robocop” had scored an impressive total of 617 penalties and 295 transformations throughout his career.

Despite Ramos’ undeniable talent, who is shooting at nearly 78.5% this season, it seems difficult, if not impossible, for him to surpass this milestone due to his repeated absences to play with the French XV. But who knows? Thomas Ramos has never hidden his thirst for records and could well continue to surprise everyone.
