Toulouse has won its last 5 home matches in the Top 14. The reigning French champion has not had a hitch to Ernest-Wallon since receiving Stade Français on February 11 (28-29). Since then, he has beaten UBB (12-11), second in the regular season, MHR (35-10), Challenge Cup winner Lyon (27-19), La Rochelle (23-16) and Biarritz (80-7).
20:35 – O’Gara and the Toulouse complex
“We recognize that we have a complex against Toulouse. It’s 6 defeats in a row”, recognized Ronan O’Gara, in a press conference. The Irish manager, however, refuses fate and is determined that his men will finally bring down the Toulouse rival. “But there is a moment, with a bit of sincerity, where you have to say stop. After the last game, I said stop. It’s up to us to take the initiative.” The message is therefore very clear for this dam.
20:30 – Act XXIV
Stade Toulousain and La Rochelle come face to face for the 24th time in their common history. For the time being, the balance sheet is very largely favorable to the Haut-garonnais with 17 successes against 6 in the Maritimes.

During the last day of Top 14, La Rochelle stripped to validate its qualification for the play-offs, by going to win in Lyon in a crazy match (29-26). Led 7-19 at the break, the Rochelais overturned everything in the second half in the wake of the substitutes, signing 4 of their 5 tries, to end the Lyonnais season.

20:20 – Good preparation for Toulouse
Last week, Stade Toulousain crushed Biarritz (80-7). At home, the Toulousans spent 12 tries against completely demobilized Biarrots. Lebel netted a brace as Ramos landed 10 of his 12 spot kicks in the face of the posts, in addition to a try.
20:15 – The composition of La Rochelle
When approaching the final sprint, Ronan O’Gara trusts the men who conquered the Champions Cup by crushing Leinster. Up front, the Irish manager will bet on the impact of Priso and Atonio left and right surrounding Bourgarit. Skelton will be the pillar of the second line with Lavault at his side. Captain Alldritt will be lined up in the 3rd line with Liebenberg and the revelation Haddad. Berjon once again filled in at scrum-half, in the absence of Kerr-Barlow, and was partnered with West at the hinge. In the center, Botia relegates to the bench Danty. On the wing, Leyds makes his comeback, when Rhule will evolve on the opposite. Finally at the back, Dulin will be in charge of ground coverage and raises.
