The Stade Toulouse players delivered a great performance against the La Rochelle managers. With an average age of 22.4 years, the young people of Toulouse made headlines by standing up to La Rochelle, losing the match on a final penalty after the siren (22-19).
They came very close to victory but above all they gained respect. The Toulouse team, extremely rejuvenated last Saturday on the pitch at La Rochelle, showed surprising qualities to Marcel-Deflandre. They won over observers with their combativeness and energy. In the program La Troisième-mi-temps, our journalists were also impressed by the young people coming from Haute-Garonne. Faced with a disappointing La Rochelle team, it was they who gave a special flavor to this match on the 14th day of the Top 14.
Protected executives
As a reminder, Toulouse presented itself with a largely reshuffled team in La Rochelle due to the trip to South Africa this week. In order to protect the executives for this very important Champions Cup match, young players had their chance.
