MHR – Stade Toulousain: at what time and on which channel to follow the match between the two teams ?

Montpellier and Toulouse face each other this Saturday, September 21, a match counting for the 3rd day of Top 14.

Practical information

The match between Montpellier Hérault Rugby and Stade Toulousain can be followed on Canal +, at 2:30 p.m., this Saturday, September 21. Venue: GGL Stadium. Referee: Jonathan Gasnier.

A short while ago, MHR-Toulouse was one of the shocks of the Top 14. But for two seasons and Montpellier's title, the Hérault club has been rebuilding and slipping. While Stade Toulousain is the double French champion and reigning European champion.

On paper, therefore, the match looks unbalanced, even if Joan Caudullo's men showed great virtues during their victory in Perpignan (26-7).

“Toulouse is a machine”, recognizes the Montpellier manager. His first two performances against Vannes (18-43) and La Rochelle (35-27) show that the Red and Blacks are in great shape at the start of the season. And that's without Antoine Dupont. The Olympic rugby 7s champion scrum-half is still on vacation.

But the Stade has recorded the returns of Peato Mauvaka and Anthony Jelonch, respectively hooker and third row of the French XV. On the Hérault side, Stuart Hogg makes his return after a week's absence.
