Shock at the end of the 19th day of Top 14. At Matmut Atlantique in Bordeaux, UBB welcomes the Toulouse ogre. Compositions, TV broadcast… Discover all the information on this gala poster.
After the end of the VI Nations, it’s time for the return of internationals to the clubs. This Sunday evening, rugby fans are entitled to a gala poster between Union Bordeaux-Bègles and Stade Toulousain at the end of the 19th day of the Top 14. For this clash, the Gironde club will be able to count on the return more earlier than expected from its international opener, Matthew Jalibert. Following a knee sprain with an affected internal ligament, the Bordeaux number 10 was initially expected to be absent for at least six weeks. “Already the diagnosis was less severe than what we predicted when he came out, when we saw the image. He has forms of regeneration that are a little faster than others, that’s not his first injury. He knows himself, if he comes back, it’s because he’s 100%.”, declared his teammate at the hinge, Maxime Lucu, starter against Toulouse. The other UBB internationals, Damian Penaud, Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Nicolas Depoortere and Yoram Moefana will also start.
On the Toulouse side, Ugo Mola’s players suffered a defeat in Perpignan on the last day. In Bordeaux, the staff of the reigning French champion can count on numerous returns to their XV like those of Julien Marchand, Thibaud Flament, Alexandre Roumat or that of Thomas Ramos. On the bench, Cyril Baille, Dorian Aldegheri or star scrum half Antoine Dupont can contribute at the end of the match. At a press conference, the three-quarter coach of Stade Toulousain said he places more importance on the quality of the game rather than the result: “It’s the match that brings the group together following the 6 Nations Tournament and this period of doubles which was very positive for us. It allows us to reconnect, and I hope in the best possible way. This what is certain is that this match will be difficult, expected, with a certain enthusiasm on the part of the Matmut Atlantique stadium which we like very much and which has often succeeded for us. Whatever the outcome, we will be much more attached to the content than the result, as we have been doing in recent weeks.” If successful at Matmut Atlantique this evening, the Toulouse team can regain the lead in the Top 14.
