Back home for the ten Stade Toulousain Slams. After finding colors against Montpellier, Toulouse have recovered their internationals. The ten Toulouse winners of the Six Nations tournament with the XV of France returned to Ernest-Wallon for training open to the public this Wednesday afternoon.
Collective training, with the return of the Chelemards, to the delight of Yoann, a Stade Toulousain supporter present in the stands: “they are on a super dynamic, they won the Grand Slam, they are in the dynamic of their life. It’s great to find them at this time, it feels good. We’re going to need it for the end of the season. It’s obviously the guys we miss in everyday life and in the game. With the good weather coming, we hope for a good end to the season, like last year!”. The dream is assumed for this fan: to repeat the exploit of last season Top 14-European Cup.
No question of talking about a title yet, answers Julien Marchand
Post workout, Julien Marchand delivered a few words to France Bleu Occitanie. The Stade Toulousain executive is delighted with his return to Toulouse, after a “beautiful adventure” with the Blues. However, he temporizes on this dynamic and thinks that we should not get carried away. Julien Marchand thinks it is not good that the team “talk about title or even doubled” for the moment. The hooker responds: “We will be able to work well, all together, everyone is coming back. It will be good for the whole team. We who have just returned from the France team, and the rest of the team, because we are all very close.”

Everything happened really fast admit the one we nickname The Belgian, “I knew that I was joining a very strong and confident group, well led by a staff that works well. All the elements were there for it to go well. I’m very happy. It’s going well and it’s going fast. I’m making the most of it. I’ve worked hard to get here.
