Stade Toulousain, disaster in sight



Despite an almost flawless course in Champions Cup, the Toulouse stadium could finish second in its group behind the UBB, and thus have a more difficult course during the final phase.

It is the hard law of the Champions Cup. By letting out a small offensive bonus point, the Toulouse stadium now runs the risk of finishing second in its group, behind the UBB, regardless of its result against Leicester. With potentially 19 out of 20 possible points, it would be a shame.

The new format of the Champions Cup is thus made, with hens of six where we find each time two French clubs which do not compete. In the case of Toulouse and the UBB, the difference is therefore on meetings against other opponents. The Bordeaux have so far been full (15 points in three games), and they will finish at the top of this group stage in the event of a improved victory against the Durban Sharks.

“The group matches of this champions Cup are super important for the future, when we see the impacts that the ranking can have in receiving in the final stages, even if we do not understand much about the way the teams are classified”regretted Antoine Dupont at a press conference on Friday, in remarks reported by RMC.
