After the UBB performance against the Sharks (66-12), and the six tries from Damian Penaud alone, Stade Toulouse could no longer covet first place in the group. And when the Red and Black cannot finish first, they are, how can I put it… quite unhappy. Their victim of the day? The English of Leicester.
The Toulouse Stadium, a real nightmare for Leicester
The people of Toulouse could not leave the Bordelais at the top of the bill for a whole day. While UBB annihilated the Sharks (66-12), Antoine Dupont's teammates decided to steal the spotlight from Ernest-Wallon. The captain of the Blues also scored the first try of the game, before it was followed by a veritable avalanche in the English goal. No less than six tries scored by the Toulouse residents in the first half hour, including this Ange Capuozzo festival. We would almost wonder if the Tigers have the same score.
Quite manic on the edges, the Rouge et Noir leave nothing to chance. After scoring six tries in the first half, six new tries destroyed Leicester in the second half. Total score? 80-12, an average of one point per minute. And no less than four players who scored a double, including Antoine Dupont, Thibaud Flament, Emmanuel Meafou and Ange Capuozzo. Combined with UBB, the reigning finalists of the French championship inflicted a scathing 146-24 between them this afternoon. We would almost miss the Top 14.
