To close the 24th day of Top 14, this Sunday, May 7, Toulouse, leader of the championship, welcomes Bordeaux-Bègles, in the race for the final phase. There will be several internationals on Ernest-Wallon’s pitch.
The gang in Mola wants to turn the page. Beaten by Leinster (41-22), in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, Toulouse finds its way back to the Top 14, this Sunday, May 7, with a new heavy opponent: Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
Facing the press, Julien Marchand, hooker Rouge et Noir, warned his partners before this Toulouse – Bordeaux-Bègles: “Given their performance in the last matches, it is a team that should not be taken lightly and to be wary of. They have a good scrum, a very well established touch with a very efficient third line. Behind it goes fast too but that’s not my concern, it’s rather that of the three- quarterbacks (laughs). In any case, it’s a very good team that we’re going to play on Sunday and it’s up to us to do what it takes to respond to them, to be aggressive from the start of the match.”
Beyond the accounting situation of the UBB in the race for the final phase (4th, 58 points before the start of this day), this shock will necessarily be special for Tom and Jack Willis. With the legal liquidation of Wasps, at the beginning of the season, the brothers will find themselves for the first time against each other. With Sud-Ouest, Tom Willis confided in this particular feeling: “We really never thought of playing against each other. We have a close relationship, we played together for more than six years. I don’t know how I’ll feel when I see him in the opposing team. But for now, I’m preparing for this game as usual. I think there will be a lot of emotion on D-Day but I I’ll quickly switch to rugby mode. The whole family will be coming to Toulouse: parents, grandparents, little sister (21), companions… We’ll see who they support (laughs).”
