A shock before the internationals go to Marcoussis. The first two of the championship have an appointment on the lawn of Ernest-Wallon this Sunday evening. For Toulouse, this is an opportunity to relegate the Rochelais to at least nine points.
An ongoing series
Stade Toulousain has won the last seven meetings against Stade Rochelais. Maritimes who have not won in Toulouse for five years. The statistics turn in favor of Toulouse in recent seasons. All the more reason to be wary of La Rochelle, which is bringing out heavy artillery to try to strike a blow in the pink city. Uini Atonio, Gregory Alldritt or Jonathan Danty will start.
The Toulouse squad
For this clash, the Dupont-Ramos hinge will once again be formed. Juan Cruz Mallia will start for the first time this season, at the back. Emmanuel Meafou will form the team with Richie Arnold. Lucas Tauzin will be a substitute and should know his first minutes of the season. Eight of the nine players summoned by Fabien Galthié are on the score sheet.
