21:12 – Very rough first shocks! (2nd)
Everyone wants to mark their territory at the start of the game. We can feel the rivalry between Toulouse and La Rochelle.
21:08 – Here we go for this Toulouse – La Rochelle! (1st)
Let’s get to the game, because there is still the game, always the game. Stade Toulousain faces La Rochelle, at the end of the 2nd day of the Top 14.
21:05 – The first results of the second day of Top 14
For the moment, the big win goes to Montpellier who beat Perpignan, in a match relocated to Béziers.
- Toulon – Castres: 30-28
- Stade Français – Vannes: 34-31
- Perpignan – Montpellier: 7-26
- Racing 92 – Clermont: 33-20
- Pau – Bayonne: 51-29
21:01 – A tribute is paid to Mehdi Narjissi
The young Stade Toulousain scrum-half was swept away by the waves in South Africa, while he was on tour with the French under-18 team.
21:00 – Grégory Alldritt had a thought for Oscar Jégou
Before this Toulouse – La Rochelle, the captain of the Maritimes spoke about the return to France of his partner, still accused of rape by a woman during the Blues’ tour in Argentina. “We were all concerned this summer to know that a very good friend of ours, someone who is part of the “Stade Rochelais family”, was locked up on the other side of the world at 20 years old, all alone. For me, frankly, it affected me a lot so I am very happy to know that he is in France with his family, with his loved ones. Now we will have to accompany him. We do not allow ourselves – like some – to judge, we do not have all the information, Justice has everything in its hands, we will let the competent people do it. For our part, we will do our utmost to help Oscar, to help rugby, so that there are articles that talk about us in relation to what we do on the field, in relation to the values that exist on the field.”

20:55 – An intense falling out between Mola and O’Gara
For several years, through the media, the two managers have maintained a strong rivalry which has sometimes also encouraged the players to give the best of themselves. In front of the press, Thomas Ramos took the subject with humor: “It can make us laugh from time to time. It’s the way they both operate. Within the group, we don’t talk about it a lot with Ugo. As they say, those who love well chastise well. Maybe at the end of their career, they’ll get together and go on vacation for a week together. They’ll have plenty to tell each other great things about!”
20:50 – Ramos warned his partners
Despite this clear advantage in favour of the Red and Blacks, the Toulouse full-back does not want to fall into overconfidence: “In the final phase, we are on a good run but each time we have played at their place over the last two years, we have taken 30 points each time. We could say that at their place they dominate us and that at our place, we dominate them. During the last reception, we were coming out of the European Cup final and we drew. We almost lost the match. These are always very close matches. They are very powerful players, who put us at fault. We do not prepare for the match by thinking that we have a psychological advantage against them.”

20:25 – But where has Antoine Dupont gone?
The French rugby star has still not resumed competition with his club Stade Toulousain. Indeed, the scrum-half finished his year much later than his teammates since he participated in the Paris Olympic Games with the French 7s team. He was also crowned with the gold medal. And although he has resumed training with his Haute-Garonne teammates, the public’s favorite is still on vacation. Yesterday, he was decorated, like the other Olympic champions, with the Legion of Honor by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron.
20:20 – The composition of Stade Toulousain!
Ugo Mola has appointed Julien Marchand as captain of the Red and Black for this Toulouse – La Rochelle.

20:10 – Remembering last spring in the Top 14
Over the last few years, a real rivalry has developed between Toulouse and La Rochelle. Three months ago, the Red and Black, from Bordeaux, put an end to the dream of Brennus des Maritimes in the semi-final of the French championship (39-23).
