The Top 14 players have settled in San Sebastián (Spain) for the semi-finals on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 June. For this first half, Stade Toulouse, first in the regular season, faces Racing 92, fifth in the standings. In the play-offs, the Racingmen went for a difficult victory for Jean Bouin against Stade Français.
Even if they have some weaknesses in conquest, the Ile-de-France residents can nevertheless rely on a solid three-quarter line to dream of a first final since their Brennus shield in 2016, acquired in Barcelona. Facing them, a very complete Toulouse team led by Antoine Dupont, who won both confrontations against Racing 92 this season. But the last two Top 14 final phase matches between the two teams had turned to the advantage of Ciel et Blanc.
