Stade Toulousain: “His first match, he should have done it well before….” Who is Matias Remue, the young full-back who discovered the Top 14 against Perpignan

There are false airs of Thomas Ramos in Matias Remue. The young prospect from Stade Toulousain played his first minutes with the pros, Saturday November 23 against Perpignan (41-9). Positioned at full-back, Matias Remue did not only have the number 15 in common with his elder Mazametain. His running style, his initiative, his kicking, his measurements (1.79m for Remue, 1.78 for Ramos)… It's difficult to get into a game of seven differences.

For his big first, the 22-year-old Belgian who arrived in the Pink City in 2022 impressed. Not shy for a penny, it was he who was on the receiving end of the USAP kick-off and he immediately tried to restart by hand, beating a first defender before being stopped by two Catalan players . Very lively, his support and speed are formidable offensive assets. But he also showed that he was not afraid to sacrifice himself in defense, as in this action where he did not hesitate to put his head first into a ruck to help his team maintain the lead (24) . A good surprise for the general public, but it did not surprise the staff and his teammates.

Coach in charge of skills, David Mélé is also the manager of the “rouge et noir” hopefuls team and saw the Belgian arrive two years ago.

On the field, Matias Remue – who has four caps with the Belgian national team – was never very far from Romain Ntamack. Being accompanied by such a player for his first professional career undoubtedly gave him confidence. In any case, this is the opinion of Paul Graou, happy that the young people were able to show themselves during this meeting. “Romain is a reassuring player. For Matias, it’s still easier to start at the back when you know you can rely on a guy like Romain.” Matias Remue will not say the opposite.
