Toulouse insist qualification from Pool One could well rest upon
their results against Ulster over the coming weeks.
The four-time European champions got their Champions Cup
back on track, following defeat to Saracens, with a 27-3 victory
over Oyonnax.
They have since defeated Oyonnax again, in the Top 14, to
maintain their third place in the championship, just a point
behind leaders Clermont-Auvergne.
But their away form has been a problem of late having lost
three of their last four games on the road. That includes the
humbling 32-7 loss at Saracens, the worst defeat suffered by les
Toulousains in Europe in nine years - at Ulster.
Record try-scorer Vincent Clerc said: “The next two games in
the European Cup are essential to qualification. We will have to
go and get a result in Ulster, that’s obvious.
“You really get the European Cup in mind and we are in a
situation where we have the pressure. We must negotiate our
way through these ties.”
Clerc, set to make his 80th appearance in the Champions
Cup this weekend, added: “We had a difficult match in difficult
conditions at Oyonnax last week with a slippery ball. That
could help us prepare for Ulster where we could have the same
conditions.”
TOULOUSE ‘MUST WIN’
AT ULSTER
The significance of the result in this
European Rugby Champions Cup tie in
Belfast appears to depend upon which side
of the Channel you are standing on.
