relive the victory of the Castres who bring down the reigning French champion and go to the final of the Top 14

The fight will have been indecisive until the end. But it was ultimately the championship leader who had the last word. A last try from Julien Dumora, three minutes from the end, allowed the Tarnais to win, Friday June 17, against the Toulouse ogre (24-18). Mathieu Babillot’s partners thus qualify for the final of the Top 14, Friday June 24, which they will play against the winner of the Montpellier-Bordeaux-Bègles meeting (Saturday June 18, at 9:05 p.m.).

For Toulouse, on the other hand, this defeat marks the end of a season without a title. Antoine Dupont and his family have however believed in it for a long time, especially when a try from Ntamack, transformed by Ramos, brought them to a small point in the score. The Rouge et Noir even regained the advantage a few minutes later but the end of this match fell to the Castres, physically fresher than the clearly blunted Toulouse.
