Champions Cup: A sixth star for Stade Toulousain!


by Sebastien Salpietro (iDalgo)

And six! This Saturday afternoon, Stade Toulousain won against Leinster in the Champions Cup final to validate the sixth crown in its history (22 – 31). In this physical and defensive match, neither team flattened the oval ball in the opposite end at the end of regulation time. So, with penalties, the two teams returned the favor and it was finally Ciarán Frawley who scored with his foot two minutes from the end to force an extension during which the Toulouse residents scored the first and only try of the part through Matthis Lebel. Thomas Ramos then followed up with a conversion and two penalties to increase his lead and win.
