Opposed in the championship final for the second time in three years, Saturday, Toulousains and Rochelais offered a very high level final (29-26), which the Rouge et Noir won in the last moments.
Toulouse is once again at the top of French rugby. For the 22nd time in its history, Stade Toulousain won the title of champion of France, in the final of the Top 14, against La Rochelle (29-26), Saturday June 17 at the Stade de France. Long in difficulty against the power of the pack of La Rochelle forwards, the Hauts-Garonnais overturned the match in the dying seconds, on a try from more than 50 meters from Romain Ntamack.
Yet guilty of a big mistake a few minutes earlier, the French international finally saved his people. For La Rochelle, the blow is hard as the Maritimes dominated, especially in the second period. Back to back at the break (13-13), Toulouse and La Rochelle did not resume the match in the same way. Imperial in melee, the European champions jostled Toulouse next to their rugby for long minutes, but without succeeding in driving the point home.
