It was a shock of the Top 14 between two direct competitors fighting for an option in the semi-final… And Stade Toulousain took up the challenge, crushing (32-12) the Racing 92 In Toulouse.
Ugo Mola brought out the heavy artillery for this poster, even if Antoine Dupont started on the bench before dynamiting the match once he entered.
Summary of a disputed, windy meeting dedicated to Claude Nougaro. Hélène Nougaro, her daughter, and Yvan Cassar, the artist’s pianist, kicked off the event.
Toulouse gets off to a flying start
Players from the start of the game, the Toulouse residents break through the Ile-de-France defense and believe they open at the first opportunity (2nd). But the referee cancels for a tackle without the ball by Dorian Aldegheri.
In the process, Thomas Ramos came within a few centimeters of opening the scoring by overflowing down the wing, but he was stopped at the last moment (4th).
Racing makes it happen
Against all expectations, the first attempt is blue and white. Kitione Kamikamica opens the scoring with a very nice counter (11th) and for the first foray into the opponent’s field. However, Tristan Tedder’s transformation is completely blown off course.
The Toulouse fury seems to calm down slightly but two penalties Thomas Ramos (25th, 31st) allow the Rouge et Noir to get back in front. Especially since the Racingmen insist and Trevor Nyakane very nearly flattens (35th). It is finally Blair Kinghorn which widens the gap after very good collective movements (39th). Thomas Ramos transforms. Toulouse leads (13-5) at the break.

Toulouse misses the offensive bonus
The festival of attempts that fail across the line or are canceled by the referee continues in the second half. First by a superb action from Racing that the Toulouse defense prevented from flattening (42nd). Then by two Occitan lightning bolts in quick succession (46th, 47th).
The score ends up being unlocked via Antoine Dupontjust returned, who benefits from a superb passing game between Romain Ntamack, Blair Kinghortn and Thomas Ramos to score (48th). The latter transforms.
Toulouse continues to push in stride. A few meters from the goal, Antoine Dupont quickly plays a penalty with his hand which arrives in the arms of Santiago Chocobares. He goes to flatten and Thomas Ramos transforms (52nd).
A magnificent breakthrough from Antoine Dupont, always him, allows Ramos to be served then Mathis Castro-Ferreira who feints and flattens to make the break (63rd). Unfortunately, Henry Arundell allows his team to deprive the Stadistes of the offensive bonus on the wire (79th). Toulouse takes an option for direct qualification in the semi-final.
The next time we see the Toulouse Stadium, it will be for another shock. The semi-final of the European Cup against Harlequins Sunday May 5 at 4 p.m.
