Fifth in the standings, the French stadium is gradually asserting himself as a client in the finals and has put behind him his 2019-2020 season of Top 14 failure (last). AT Toulouse, it will be “A real test to see where we really are”, says center Jonathan Danty.
The Parisians won the first duel with the Toulouse stadium (48-14), the 1is November, but the Rouge et Noir had lined up a second team, Cheslin Kolbe then being injured and their other best players mobilized with the XV of France. A success on the lands of Antoine Dupont and others would whet the appetite of the club in the capital even more. But the Rouge et Noir have not lost since this defeat, stacking a draw and six wins in all competitions. Second in the ranking of Top 14, they must continue to put pressure on the leader, La Rochelle, and not be joined by Racing 92, third just one point behind them.
