We have to go back to last March to find Stade Toulousain suffering two consecutive defeats. Beaten for the first time in two and a half years at home, last Sunday during the reception of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, Toulouse hopes to regain its effectiveness in the scoring zone. But no favors will be given to the “red and black” in this derby.
