RUGBY. Stade Toulousain. Cigar, ski goggles, the lunar extension of the hooker signed Lacroix and Mauvaka

Stade Toulousain wasted no time in securing the future of one of their major assets. On the heels of their 23rd Brennus Shield, won on Friday night at the Vélodrome in Marseille with a resounding 59-3 victory over Union Bordeaux-Bègles, the club has made Peato Mauvaka’s contract extension official.

I am proud of this group. We were keen to make up for the semi-final, where we didn’t recognise ourselves. It was a great pleasure to have played against a great Bordeaux team. We remained united, we played our rugby in the best possible way and that’s what we must remember. […] There is always a lot of emotion. This match is the final where I had a lot of stress and a knot in my stomach, which is not what I usually have. We all played our best rugby, we didn’t give up, it’s a great Stade Toulousain tonight.

The 27-year-old hooker, already tied to the club until 2026, has signed for three additional years, extending his contract until 2029. This announcement reinforces the positive momentum of Stade Toulousain, who seems determined to remain at the top of French rugby.

This extension is excellent news for supporters, who see Mauvaka as one of the leaders of their team. Number 2 has already shown the full extent of his talent this season, contributing significantly to the success of the club on the French and European scenes.

For Stade Toulousain, this signing is a strategic step. With impressive performances and natural leadership, Mauvaka embodies the club’s values: excellence, rigor and passion. He will undoubtedly be a key element for years to come.

Stade Toulousain can now count on the commitment of Peato Mauvaka until 2029, and fans can look forward to seeing their team continue to shine on the pitch with the hope of winning many more trophies.

As a reminder, the double French champion has already secured several of its internationals in recent years. Thus Baille, Jelonch, Cros and Dupont are tied until 2027, as is Ramos. Marchand, Ntamack and Costes have signed until 2028.
