For this Boxing Day period, second-placed Stade Toulousain welcomes its rival Stade Français in a classic that promises to be thrilling.
After its flawless European performance concluded with two successes, Stade Toulousain played again in the Top 14 last week against Lyon OU and conceded a draw. Ugo Mola’s men hope to end the year with a victory this evening with the reception on the occasion of the 13th day of the Stade Français. The Toulouse defense coach, Laurent Thuery, who was at a press conference, has vivid memories of the clashes between his team and that of the capital. “They have powerful players; last year we suffered significantly physically. Two years ago, they had a big match here. We especially remember that. We know that they are dangerous. We are “I’m expecting a match under pressure,” he admitted to the press.
The Stadistes are keen to re-mobilize after having recently suffered three successive defeats, including two failures in Europe. The Parisians were able to regain a little confidence just before this trip to the Stade Ernest-Wallon. Last Saturday, they actually won, at home against Perpignan. But tonight it’s a whole different ball game that the pink soldiers will be tackling. “We try to have continuity in what we do. We will try to have a big match” assured Morgan Parra. Parisians know the recipe. In February 2022, they beat the Rouge et Noir by one point.
