We could talk to you about the potential return of François Cros, left in care last weekend and whose defeat should count in the battle that Toulouse will have to fight on the pitch at Exeter on Saturday.
We could also tell you about the new confirmed package of Pita Ahki, or the probable Anthony Jelonch, who we would have really liked to see take on Jacques Vermeulen, for a 100% tough duel.
Stade Toulousain finds Cyril Baille
Finally, we will talk about Cyril Baille. Isn't the international left pillar in the recovery phase, as relayed last week? Better than that, finally!
Nearly 6 months after his serious injury against La Rochelle (ruptured ankle ligaments and fractured fibula), in the Top 14 semi-finals, Cyril Baille is back on his feet.
After working like crazy and resuming scrum pushing 10 days ago, Cissou resumed contact this week. A priori with a lot of receptivity since he should make his return to competition this Saturday, against the Chiefs, as indicated by L'Équipe.
Cyril Baille, the unexpected joker
A real reinforcement for Toulouse in a very diminished pillar position since the start of the season, especially in a European match. And above all an anticipated recovery for Baille compared to what he mentioned last week, he who spoke of the match against Paris on December 29 as an objective.
In this sense and without game facts, we can imagine Ugo Mola giving him 20 to 25 minutes to get back on his feet, in the intensity of Sandy Park. Not bad, for a smooth recovery…
