As a symbol, Stade Toulousain begins the defense of its fifth European title on the synthetic turf of Arms Park. A stadium where Toulouse won its first star in 1996. The club has never managed to keep its European title, so opener Romain Ntamack is ambitious.
Ntamack: “Assume our status”
The international opener “approaches with great ambition” this new European Cup. “We will try to write history a little more. We have one more star but we will play all these matches to win. The teams will be waiting for us, all the counters are reset to zero. We must assume our status ”
Stung by the defeat in Bordeaux
The Toulouse, who remain on a logical defeat in Bordeaux, want to react: “It’s always good to try to bounce back from a defeat. In Bordeaux we were not up to the task”, adds Ntamack.
And no question of taking lightly this Cardiff team, weighed down by the Covid in recent days: “Cardiff players will starve to death. We analyze how is play but we refocused on us especially after the defeat in Bordeaux. ”
Stade Toulousain will take off early Thursday afternoon for Wales. The kick-off will be on Saturday at 2 p.m. (HF).
