The Toulousain stadium welcomes this Saturday the Paloise section at the opening of the 20th day of the Top 14. The opportunity for the leader to resume his march forward in the league before challenging dirty in champions cup.
While the Stade Toulousain finds almost all of its internationals for the reception of the Paloise section, an absent brand should still be lacking. Romain ntamackalthough not injured, should be spared by Ugo Mola’s staff. The tricolor international benefited from a developed week. The opener has therefore not taken part in the collective sessions and will probably not be on the match sheet, unless the last minute unforeseen event.
After having left his executives at rest during the trip to Bordeaux-Bègles, Toulouse can this time rely on the majority of his internationals. Thomas Ramos, Julien Marchand or Anthony Jelonch returned to training at the start of the week. All three will have to be aligned from entry even if the back line coach of the stadium, Clément Pointrenaud refuses to talk about the statutes ““It is not necessary that the players who return to feel necessarily installed, and I think they do not feel installed given the performance of some during their absence”. The great performance in Bordeaux against the UBB has shown that the Toulouse duplicate team is capable of competing with the best clubs “There are players who have scored points during this duplicate period, there are young players who assert themselves more and more” Add Pointrenaud.
Simmonds in chief of pale
On the absent listed, Antoine Dupont, in long convalescence after his breakdown of the crossed ligaments, and Peato Mauvaka, suspended, will also miss. Pierre-Louis Barassi, given from his concussion, is available to the staff. It is especially on the side of the Paloise section that the workforce seems decimated. Still looking for a place in the top 6, Pau will have to deal with a well -stocked infirmary. Twelve players are missing the call, including Émilien Gailleton (posterior cross ligament) and Jack Maddocks. The list of absent lies with frames like Zegueur, Rey, Templier, Laporte and Franklin. Fortunately, the paleois will be able to count on the English opening half Joe Simmonds, best scorer of the Top 14 and author of a decisive drop against Montpellier on the last day.
Despite three consecutive victories in the championship, Pau arrived in Ernest-Wallon without great illusions. The memory of the humiliation suffered during the 2018-2019 (83-6) season still haunts the spirits. A nightmarish scenario that the men of Sébastien Picronies will try to avoid. For Toulouse, this match represents the perfect opportunity to consolidate its place as a leader of the top 14. With the Champions Cup Cup of sight, the Red and Black will seek to find rhythm and to avoid any misstep. Faced with a decreased Paloise section, the level gap seems obvious, but surprises can never be excluded. It remains to be seen if Pau will manage to thwart the forecasts or if Toulouse will impose a new demonstration of force.
