Stade Toulousain can establish its domination over the Top 14 if successful this Sunday evening at the Ernest-Wallon stadium. Ugo Mola’s men are leaders in the Championship with a two-point lead over Stade Rochelais, which won on Saturday. The Toulousains remain on a defeat in the Championship on the lawn of Castres (17-27) but then chained two victories in the European Cup. “It takes a lot of energy to win finals games. Last year, we missed them. We learned from our mistakes and we will do everything to arrive in a better mood. Sunday’s game is very important so as not to break this dynamic,” said defense coach Laurent Thuéry.
Opposite, the LOU is in a bad period with two defeats in a row in the Championship. They have fallen back to 6th place and are now under pressure from Bordeaux-Bègles, a small point behind, who are aiming for this last qualifying place for the final phase of the Top 14. But the Lyonnais can rely on the last confrontations between both teams to motivate each other. Indeed, they have won five of the last six clashes against Stade Toulouse. “We are hosting the best team and the best players in France,” Lyon manager Xavier Garbajosa said during the first leg.
The Toulouse – Lyon match will start at 9:05 p.m. this Sunday, April 16. It will take place at the Ernest-Wallon stadium in Toulouse.

The two starting fifteen are already known. On the Toulouse management side, as Laurent Thuéry points out, changes must be made to the management of the workforce. Antoine Dupont will therefore start on the bench while Melvyn Jaminet signs his return to the starting line-up just like Ange Capuozzo. Here is the composition of Toulouse: Jaminet – Retière, Barassi, Chocobares, Capuozzo – (o) Ntamack, (m) Graou – Placines, Roumat, Cros – Flament, Brennan – Aldegheri, Mauvaka (cap), Neti.
For its part, LOU had to make forced changes in previous matches because of many physical glitches. But on the occasion of this trip to Ernest-Wallon, the Lyonnais find important players like the Fijian Josua Tuisova or the brothers Taofifenua and Ethan Dumortier. Here is the starting composition prepared by Xavier Garbajosa: Arnold – Veredamu, Maraku, Tuisova, Dumortier – (o) Berdeu (o), (m) Couilloud – Saganidze, Botha, Allen – R.Taofifenua, Geraci – Bamba, Coltman, S .Taofifenua.
