It’s a clash between the last two champions of France. Stade Toulousain and Montpellier Hérault Rugby will face each other on Thursday August 10 at 8:45 p.m. in Bézier for a friendly match organized within the framework of Meetings of Occitania. Before that, the supporters present at the Raoul Barrière stadium will be able to appreciate an opposition between Béziers and Carcassonne.
Stade Toulousain, like its opponent, will fine-tune the final settings before the start of the Top 14. The two teams will be particularly keen to integrate the World Cup jokers and their new recruits as well as possible. The absence of the internationals is also an opportunity for the youngest to put themselves forward.
A friendly match before the start of the Top 14
For the MHR, this shock is downright its first and last preparation match before attacking the French championship. On his side, Stade Toulousain has already met Colomierswhich he beat 7 to 26 on August 4th.
This friendly match will also be an opportunity for the two teams to gauge each other before meeting on the second day of Top 14, in Ernest-Wallon, during the weekend of August 26 and 27. It will therefore not be necessary to reveal everything, but rather to work on automatisms and cohesion.
Here is the composition of Stade Toulousain against Montpellier
The composition of Stade Toulousain : Lebel – Tauzin, Costes, Barassi, Retière – Searle, Graou – Roumat, Elstadt, Placines – Fa’asalele, Brennan – Francks, Boubila, Reilhes.
