First poster of the season for Toulouse, who welcome Maritimes to Stade Rochelais this Sunday for the closing match on day two of the Top 14 (9.05pm). Which team will get the best of the other?
Yes, it's September 15, 2024 and the second day of the Top 14 already offers a tantalizing clash between Stade Toulousein and Stade Rochelais. The two teams meet this Sunday evening at Ernest-Wallon for the home opener of “rouge et noir”, the reigning French champions.
- The locals had thoroughly dominated Rochelais in the semi-final (39-23) before pulverizing Bordelais (59-3) in the Top 14 final at the Stade Vélodrome.
- The Maritimes had come close to sealing their first win of 2017 in Toulouse a few months ago, but Toulouse pulled out a draw (31-31),
- Stade Toulouse-La Rochelle is the promise of a high level of rugby between two of the best teams in the Championship.
This meeting will be moderated by Mr. Luc Ramos, who was already violently targeted after a match in Toulouse.
