Toulouse rugby players largely dominated the Chiefs this Sunday, December 15 at Sandy Park (64-21, 2nd day of the Champions Cup). The physical impact was, however, significant and put a strain on the organisms.
Certainly, the rugby players from Stade Toulousain did not have to use their physical resources to dominate those from Exeter, this Sunday, December 15. At Sandy Park, in the southwest of England, Antoine Dupont and his teammates largely won (64-21), scoring 10 tries.

However, it was necessary to respond to the physical impact imposed by the subjects of Charles III. Particularly at the start of the match, during which Antoine Dupont was the target of several violent attacks, which did not prevent him from scoring a try (the first of the match, 9th minute).
“I don’t play Playstation anyway!”
The star scrum half, however, was hit in the left thumb, strapped in the second half, and to which he was applying ice at the end of the match when La Dépêche du Midi asked him about his illness. “Yes, I have a sprained thumb,” he told us. “Nothing bad but I'm trying to treat it as soon as possible so as not to have too much damage. It's not bad. It's more annoying than bad. I don't play the Playstation anyway!”

Another injured player: Guillaume Cramont, injured in an ankle. “He complains of a blow to the ankle and fibula” detailed Ugo Mola to The Dispatch. “It still seemed a bit annoying. Fortunately, we have Peato (Mauvaka, Editor's note) who will return this weekend, and then we will see some other young people, that's good!”
Next match for Stade Toulousain: Sunday December 22 in Lyon, at the end of the 12th day of Top 14 (9:05 p.m.).
