“I have always loved rugby, even more since my time in Toulouse (he played there from 1994 to 1997)” had confided Philippe Montanier to The Team in an extensive duet interview with Ugo Mola. This Saturday, a few minutes before the kick-off of TFC – Nîmes, Stade Toulousain qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions Cup by beating Munster at the end of the suspense in the penalty shootout, a rare occurrence in the rugby.
But it was not until the post-match press conference, around 10:00 p.m., that Montanier was made aware of this success. The Toulouse coach let his joy burst.
