Toulouse consolidates its place
Well set for the semi-finals of the championship, Stade Toulousain knew the importance of this meeting against Racing.
An appointment that the 2019 French champion will not have missed, quickly killing any suspense in the race for the top 2. Avoiding any bad surprises, the Stadistes took off in third place, now counting 13 points d 'advance over his evening opponent (59pts).
Dupont makes the differences
One more benchmark match.
As often, Antoine Dupont weighed throughout this shock against Racing 92, making speak all his class but also his speed, like the test he comes to register at the end of the match (68th).
A test that he will have built himself, after a tearing up in the arms of Zebo.
He is one of Toulouse's good shots of the evening.
Not really surprising to see it peak at 150 meters ball in hand in 68 minutes spent on the meadow.
Essential.
Toulouse efficiency
Without necessarily being as domineering as it may have been this season, Stade Toulousain has shown devilish efficiency against Racing 92. Long elbow to elbow in the first period, Stade Toulousain was able to score points to each of his occasions, widening a real gap at the break and upon returning from the locker room.
Based on its numerical superiority, Stade Toulousain has especially punished the indiscipline of Racing.
Because it is 15 against 13 that Toulouse made the difference, to go and win in particular an offensive bonus, the eighth this season.
Flops
Big concern for Huget
The image made people fear the worst.
Served along his wing, Yoann Huget held his thigh before collapsing.
The head buried in the lawn of his garden of Ernest-Wallon, the winger with 63 selections with the XV of France had undoubtedly just lived his last moments in Top 14. Released helped by the Toulouse healers, he was seen in the locker rooms a harness to the ankle, leaving the stadium on crutches.
A rupture of the Achilles tendon is feared, according to information from Canal +.
Sad outing for the one who announced that this 2021/22 season would be his last.
Racing pays for its indiscipline and misses the mark
Coming to Toulouse with ambitions despite its long list of absentees, Racing 92 missed the big blow.
One week before the derby against the Stade Français, the Ciel et Blancs paid a heavy price for a culpable indiscipline: a tackle without a ball from Beale on Holmes in the in-goal (38th) but above all an unnecessary clearing of Palu on Médard ( 40 + 1e).
Two cards in three minutes, which almost sealed the defeat of Racing, yet accustomed to an iron discipline.
Lacking in efficiency, Racing let slip the opportunity to relaunch the race for direct access to the semi-finals.
