The time for the Top final arrived with a huge shock.
The epilogue of the Top 14 arrived with a clash between Stade Toulousain and Bordeaux-Bègles. The match is scheduled for Friday evening at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille due to the Olympics which deprive Stade France of access. At the end of a crazy match, the Bordelais defeated Stade Français, but still see themselves as the little thumbs up in this final. “They are not there for nothing. It will be a different style against Toulouse. But when we see their start to the match on Friday (against La Rochelle in the semi-finals, 39-23), we know that we will have to be ready from the start because it starts from everywhere. We beat them in a big match, with crazy intensity, here at Matmut Atlantique (31-28). We had prepared to play a big match against them, a final phase match, and them too. It will be a completely different game on Friday, but we will be ready. For now it’s 1-1. I hope it will be 2-1 for us at the end,” explained Jefferson Poirot.
