Parisians may have regrets.
While leading in the score for 77 minutes, Stade Français was finally hooked by Toulouse (16-16) in the last moments of the match
Ernest-Wallon on behalf of the 10th day of the Top 14. The pink soldiers still remain on three games without defeat against the Red and Black (28-29 on February 11 in Toulouse and 23-16 on March 6 in Paris ) in the Championship.
Faced with a Toulouse team deprived of many internationals, and an interruption of the match of around ten minutes due to an action by two activists, the Parisians showed themselves to be rather dominating in the occupation of the field and opened the scoring quickly on a penalty at 40m full axis of Joris Segonds (6th, 0-3).
More offensive, Morgan Parra's teammates were then rewarded with a try from Habel-Kuffner, who went to flatten alone behind the line (50th, 3-11).

A yellow card that changed everything
But Quesada's men had to deal with a twist of fate.
On yet another collapsed scrum, Clément Castets received a yellow card and left his team at 14 for ten minutes (56th).
During this time, the pink soldiers took the thunder, and even conceded a try from Tolofua, who put their opponent of the day back in the game (57th, 8-13).
Joris Segonds, author of a correct game on foot this afternoon (67% of successful penalties, a successful drop), allowed his to take some air on the scoreboard on a penalty (63rd, 8- 16).
But this lead was short-lived since the nugget of the Rouge et Noir, Paul Costes, flattened in the Parisian in-goal, after a good lag from his teammates (79th, 16-16).
The addition could even have been terrible for Stade Français if Arthur Retière had not missed his transformation.
With this draw, the two teams leave with two points, a result which will have no impact on the classification for Toulouse which will remain leader while Stade Français will retain a place at the top of the table.
