Affected in their « orgueil » after conceding last weekend against Bordeaux Bègles their first home defeat in the Top 14 since February 2022, the Toulouse residents want to show a different face on Saturday against Castres during the 5th day. The setback suffered at Ernest-Wallon against UBB (16-12) served as a revelation after a not entirely successful start to the season in terms of play. Second in the ranking alongside UBB, Stade Toulousain intends to make up for the points left on his lawn this weekend at his neighbor in Castres.
