the essential
Starting at the opening for the third time in three matches, the back of the Blues and the “red and black” once again delivered a very solid performance, particularly offensively during the first act.
A new offensive recital. This is what Thomas Ramos offered a week after his masterful performance against the Blacks. At this rate, the debate, which no longer exists with Matthieu Jalibert, should not end up opening with Romain Ntamack… We are hardly exaggerating but it is also to better underline the perfectly assured interim this fall by the club teammate of the opener N.1 in the head of Fabien Galthié.
If the Toulouse player once again had a little difficulty getting into his defensive section, suffering the first impacts, he on the other hand once again displayed all his class in attack, helped in this by the Argentinians who were quickly overtaken during of the first act.

So of course, we can blame the usual full-back for his direct throw into touch (21). A drop in the ocean compared to everything he brought to the Blues. By his reliability, once again, in shots on goal (15 points and 100% like last week), from near and far (23), but also by his ability to always play correctly with the view we have. knows him.
A penalty try stamped “Stade Toulousain connection”
Capable of punishing Juan Cruz Mallia's missed clearance with a kick with a 50/22 which hurt the Pumas (28), he always knew how to ensure the extra pass, even under pressure, to continue to keep things alive the ball wide like his relay for Léo Barré on Gabin Villière's try (33).

And he also justified the choice of his coach to associate him with Antoine Dupont at the hinge in the name, in particular, of automatisms. Because the two Toulouse residents only needed to exchange a look and a few words as they put themselves back in the heart of the game to play a shot at the second South American curtain.
The Mazamétain thus recovered a small overhand perfectly executed by his captain before extending the action at the foot for “LBB” (Louis Bielle-Biarrey but La Bombe Bleue suits him very well too) after having scanned the situation right chest and head high for a penalty try stamped at the start “Stade Toulousain connection” (35).

Less in sight after the break due to the Argentine's renewed form, Ramos will still have annihilated a try action by catching Juan Martin Gonzalez who had failed by combining on the edge of the touchline after an en- goal (54). Last passer on the Bielle-Biarrey test (58), sent to the slaughterhouse by Barré against the butcher Marcos Kremer (62), he left Dupont the opening to finish at the back and without any mistake the last 17 minutes of a successful match and tour in every way.
