The campaign for the defense of his crown launched, Stade Toulousain traveled to Exeter this Sunday in the southwest of England. Second day of the Champions Cup and same sanction as the weekend for the evening opponent. The Red and Black wanted to confirm their good start against Ulster last weekend at home, concluded with a card 61-21 against the Northern Irish at Ernest-Wallon (9 tries scored). They did even better this Sunday evening by winning against the English 64-21.
A historic start to the competition
Even if the first minutes were contested, we subsequently witnessed a Red and Black recital. The Toulouse title holder outrageously dominated this match by scoring ten tries (Dupont, Cros, Flament, T.Ntamack, Kinghorn and Graou) with doubles from Lebel and Barassi very prominently on the Exeter pitch. Toulouse tends to trivialize the exceptional at the start of the Champions Cup campaign since the Stade scored one more try than last Sunday, an average of more than 60 points in two matches.
Toulouse at the top of the ranking(s)
After two days, Stade Toulousain has the best record of the four groups combined and ensures for the moment to meet the weakest team of qualifiers in the quarter-finals in the spring. In the meantime, return to the Top 14 next weekend for Stade Toulousain, leader of the French championship and expected in Lyon on Sunday evening (9:05 p.m.), a match to also be experienced in full on France Bleu Occitanie.
