The end of a long tunnel. Romain Ntamack, recovered from his knee injury, made his return to competition this Saturday with Toulouse, during the match of the 20th day of Top 14 against Pau. Replacing at kick-off, the international fly-half came on in the 56th minute of play, to a standing ovation from the crowd at the Ernest-Wallon stadium, in place of Antoine Dupont who was playing in 10. A strong reinforcement for the Rouge et Noir one week before the first playoff match of the season, a Champions Cup round of 16 match against Racing 92, next Sunday, in this same stadium.

His last Top 14 match with Toulouse dates back to the Top 14 final won against La Rochelle, where he scored the winning try in the final moments of the match. He returned to the field exactly 7 months and 18 days after his injury.
