Toulouse is a leader of the Top 14 more established than ever. The red and black club, which won against La Rochelle on Sunday evening at home (26-17), now has a nine-point lead over its runner-up, Stade Français.
This match was marked by a recital by Thomas Ramos, positioned at the opening and author of 26 points for his team. In the absence of Melvyn Jaminet in the list of 42 players selected by coach Fabien Galthié to prepare for the November tests, Ramos will have a good card to play for a starting place at the back of the XV of France.
“There are a lot of people in 10, I’m applying more for the position of back in the France team I think. I’m going to go there with a banana and a smile and we’ll see if I have my chance, ”said Ramos at the microphone of Canal +.
Wardi expelled and probably suspended for the Blues
The staff of the Blues, who had to cross their fingers not to register new injuries with a dozen players present on the lawn of Ernest-Wallon, has undoubtedly lost another player for the tour.
This is Reda Wardi, the left pillar from La Rochelle, author of a shoulder tackle in the face of Antoine Dupont from the 12th minute. Expelled, Wardi risks a suspension of several weeks and could therefore be replaced in the France group. According to information from Canal +, the Lyon pillar Jérôme Rey, already summoned during the last Tournament, should be called in his place.
“I have the balls for Reda, it was his first summons, he worked a lot for it. It’s only a postponement, I hope, ”said his captain Grégory Alldritt.
The tricolor staff is facing a real slaughter at this post of left pillar after the packages of the holder Cyril Baille, his replacement Jean-Baptiste Gros and, therefore, that likely of Reda Wardi.
