This Sunday, January 19, Toulouse hosts Leicester as part of the fourth day of the Champions Cup. After its mixed success against the Sharks last weekend (8-20), the Stade must do better to finish the group stage in the best possible way.
By leaving South Africa without the offensive bonus point, the “red and black” have almost said goodbye to first place in their group A. They are in any case no longer masters of their destiny, because with one point advance on Toulouse, Bordeaux is guaranteed to finish first in the event of an improved victory against the Sharks (2 p.m.).

Ugo Mola’s men will already be set when they enter the pitch at the Ernest-Wallon stadium this Sunday. If UBB wins with the bonus, Toulouse will only play to keep their place as best second, significant, at least, a round of 16 at home. If Bordeaux does not take five points, first place will still be playable.

Opposite, Leicester, who are three points behind Stade Toulousain, will hope to make a big move to grab second place in the group. We will therefore have to be wary of this English team, always tough and difficult to maneuver.
