Toulouse take on Sharks Rugby in one of the most highly anticipated matches of Champions Cup pool play in 2025.
The South Africans will welcome the French side to Durban, in a match that will feature two of the most talent-rich rugby clubs in the world.
On the field will be world-class players like Antoine Dupont, Jack Willis and Thomas Ramos for Toulouse. As well as Ox Nche, Siya Kolisi, Vincent Koch and the Hendrikse brothers for Hollywoodbets Sharks.
Toulouse may be one of the toughest sides in club rugby, but heading to South Africa is always daunting, and the Durban crowd will be behind their Sharks.
