18:15 – Toulouse crunches Munster, at Thomond Park, in extreme conditions!
For the first day of the Champions Cup, this Sunday, December 11, the Red and Black faced a first shock, for this Munster – Toulouse. And, in Ireland, under a thick fog, the Stade Toulousain had forgotten to get up on time. After a delicate first quarter of an hour, the band at Dupont gave in on a try from Carbery (7-0, 9th). Thanks to a winning scrum, the Rouge et Noir entered this game. Following a thundering maul, Lebel, in the corner, finished the work of his forwards (7-7, 25th). Ramos’ boot did the rest (7-10, 30th), before Carbery brought his team back just before the break (10-10, 39th). Returning from the locker room, following a good maul carried, Tauzin came to conclude the corner kick (10-15, 45th). Under the fog, Ramos took his people to safety less than ten minutes from the end (10-18, 72nd). Carbery allowed Munster to grab a defensive bonus (13-18, 78th). With this result, Toulouse is placed in Pool B (5th out of 12). Munster is just a little behind his opponent of the day (7th).
