With the broadcaster, the back of Stade Toulousain confided: “We are happy. It was not easy against this team that we do not know too well. We had a delicate first period. We gave enough free points. We were able to make the difference in the second half. Next week, it will sting a little more. But, this afternoon, it’s a great victory, and we’re giving an appointment to our supporters for the next week.”
17:50 – Ugo Mola gave a rant at the end of this Toulouse – Sharks
At the microphone of France 2, the manager of the Rouge et Noir was unhappy with the score of his team, despite qualifying: “We did some messy things. We will have to do better in the quarter-finals. The Sharks scored 50 points at Munster. It’s a new competition, with new opponents. We’ll have to be better to compete against the Sharks.”
