Stade Toulousain is the last French club entered in the last four of the European Rugby Cup.
In the end, it was Toulouse who won. In the quarter-finals against the English from Exeter, Stade Toulousain delivered a real recital to its audience by winning 64-26 despite a delicate first period. “In the first period, Exeter pushed us or pushed us back to our limits. But we must recognize that we never gave up and that we were able to resolve the problem of the game on the ground. The first period was played on our lack of efficiency in this sector and on a pair of balls that we cannot negotiate Afterwards, the players had a pretty incredible match” analyzed Ugo Mola after the match.
Toulouse will face Harlequins on May 5. The English won 41-42 in a completely crazy match in Bordeaux which could have snatched victory if Maxime Lucu had successfully converted the last try. “It’s a difficult moment, as the Champions Cup offers, that is to say very beautiful joys and also painful moments. When we face very good teams in an enclosure like that (Chaban-Delmas), with this magnificent audience who supported us, it comes down to certain small errors that the champions do not make” indicated Yannick Bru.
