YOUR MATCHES LA ROCHELLE/TOULOUSE AND TOULON/PARIS ON WHICH CHANNEL AND AT WHAT TIME? Shock in Deflandre on Saturday with the Top 14 match between Stade Rochelais and Stade Toulousain. A remake of the last championship final to end the year. Something to delight the local supporters, especially if the Maritimes win.
If the last match between these two teams saw the Haut-Garonnais win, it was not at home but on the Saint-Denis pitch in the final. During the regular phase, it was the Maritimes who had the last word with a clear score of 30 to 7.
It was almost a year ago to the day. And Mola had fielded a team that was far from ridiculous against the future double European champions. Romain Ntamack started at the opening, Mauvaka wore number 2 while Barassi was in the center and Jaminet at the back.
This Saturday, Toulouse should travel without a large part of its globalists if we are to believe the latest statements from the coach of the French champions. A boon for Stade Rochelais?RUGBY. Top 14. Toulouse vs La Rochelle: A Reshuffled Team for an Epic Battle or a One-Sided Match?On the Deflandre side, we know that we must not take this team lightly. It doesn’t matter which players line up on the field. We can count on Ronan O’Gara to put together a solid lineup in order to give ourselves every chance of winning and starting 2024 on a very good foundation.
On January 7, Toulouse were particularly undisciplined with three yellow cards for Faumuina (29th), Ntamack (31st) and Mauvaka (55th). Difficult in these conditions to hope to win against Alldritt and his teammates.
At the half-hour mark, the locals led 16-0 after a new penalty from Hastoy and especially a try from Romain Sazy in the 25th minute. The lead could have been greater before the hour mark without a first miss from the French opener. Not enough to destabilize the Maritimes who had planted a second try by Pierre Boudehent in the 61st to seal the fate of this meeting (23-0).
Indeed, despite the toast addressed to Alldritt in the 71st and a try conceded three minutes later by a former member of the La Rochelle house, Arthur Retière, Stade Rochelais quietly headed towards victory. Hatherell adding the icing on the cake after the end of regulation time.
A success which allowed La Rochelle to end the series of defeats against Toulouse. The Martimes had not won since September 2019.
