Three penalties missed by UBB in the last ten minutes. Three chances for Bordeaux to come back in front after a perfect kick from Mevyn Jaminet for Toulouse (25-26, 67′). But neither Jalibert nor Lucu found the target and here is the Stade Toulousain which begins its season with a victory.
“If we lost, it was logical”
Toulouse defense coach Laurent Thuéry commented on the performance of the Rouge et Noir at the exit of the locker room: “We went through all the stages in terms of emotions. We are obviously very happy with the outcome, especially on the content of the second half with more enthusiasm. We managed to finish our actions. We must remember the state of mind that was essential to overthrow Bordeaux. We are aware that we are doing very well, but we are happy to start the championship like this. If we lost tonight it was very logical. You have to be very humble. It’s a little twist of fate. There are a lot of things to work on for the reception of Toulon next Sunday.”
In this breathtaking match, Stade Toulousain lost Alban Placines, excluded. Romain Ntamack came out hit in the calf but Laurent Thuéry wanted to be reassuring after the match.
