the essential Stade Toulousain won (29-22) against Union Bordeaux-Bègles this Sunday evening at the Ernest-Wallon stadium for the return of the Top 14.
A complicated start to the match
The Toulouse residents had difficulty getting into their resumption meeting, after eight weeks off due to the World Cup. Nans Ducuing scored the first try of the game for UBB before his opener Mateo Garcia incurred penalties. The Rouge et Noir, generally dominated and uninspired in this first act, managed to reduce the score thanks to a try from Théo Ntamack (16-8 at half-time for Bordeaux-Bègles).

Ten minutes of madness
The start of the second half was consistent with the first and Toulouse did not seem able to outflank the impervious Bordeaux defense… until the last ten minutes. Under the leadership of its bench, Stade Toulousain finally manages to break through the UBB defense thanks to a magnificent try from Baptiste Germain (73rd), after a very long sequence of possession – more than 20 playing times!

Two minutes later, it was the Italian Ange Capuozzo who scored another try after a mix-up in front of the Bordeaux line. Stade Toulousain overthrew UBB in… two minutes. To close the match, Baptiste Germain scores a drop to take away the defensive bonus from the visitors, who leave empty-handed (29-22).
The return of the Globalists
Toulouse Modialists Ange Capuozzo (Italy), Richie Arnold (Australia), Peato Mauvaka (France) and Pita Ahki (Tonga) all came on at the same time at the very start of the second half. Peato Mauvaka showed that he still had his fiery legs seen during the World Cup, despite some inaccuracies. While Capuozzo offered victory to the Toulouse team, who remain 5th in the Top 14 before heading to Pau next Sunday, November 5 (9:05 p.m.).
