Mauvaka, Gourgues and Barassi return to face Bristol (Saturday at 6:30 PM) in the Champions Cup round of 16, along with Cros. Dealing with a foot injury, Flament is managed.
Gradually, the puzzle of international players is coming together at Stade Toulousain. The winners of the Six Nations Tournament are given time off, and after their week off, Peato Mauvaka, Kalvin Gourgues, and Pierre-Louis Barassi have returned to training. Back from their holidays last week, Julien Marchand and François Cros are also back, even though the former was exempt from the initial warm-up exercises.
Flament is managed in training, with Meafou operational
Despite being on the sidelines in civilian clothing, international second-rower Thibaud Flament had injured his foot during the victory against Montpellier (45-29), resulting in a hematoma. According to the staff, it is not inhibitory for his participation on Saturday. On the other hand, his second-row partner Emmanuel Meafou is operational after missing out this weekend due to a hamstring strain. The Toulouse players ruled out for this round of 16 are Rodrigue Neti (knee), Georges-Henri Colombe (ankle), Mathis Castro-Ferreira (shoulder), Juan Cruz Mallia (knee), and Ange Capuozzo (shoulder). Among the injured players, only prop Rodrigue Neti could potentially return if Toulouse qualifies for the quarterfinals. If that happens, Toulouse could travel to Bordeaux if UBB advances past Leicester.
