Montpellier received the Toulousais, on behalf of the 13th day of Top 14, at GGL Stadium. This match ended in another defeat for the MHR players.
After a difficult first part of the season, far from the club’s ambitions (12th, only 3 wins for 6 losses), the MHR did not recover this evening against the Stade Toulousain. With the ambition to revive a somewhat stalled machine last year, this match was perhaps not the easiest. Unfortunately, this was confirmed at the end of the match. A first half where the MHR had the possesion of the ball, but the doubts do not go away with the holidays, the players did not know the exploit and never managed to break through the Toulouse defense. Even with a numerical superiority of 10min (21st-31st) during which no point was scored. The second period was in contrast to Toulouse and the entry of internationals boosted the game of Haut-Garonnais. Rewarded by a try in the 71st, the Toulousais will not crack at the end of the match on the final Hérault attacks.
Next match in 4 days in Lyon. Difficult move but imperative result not to experience a catastrophic start to the year.
