French rugby giants Toulouse are aiming to defend their European Champions Cup title when they take on La Rochelle in the final at the Stade de France this weekend. Toulouse could become the third French side and 11th outfit overall to claim two titles in one season since the European Cup began in 1996. The match is expected to be fiercely contested, with La Rochelle determined to win their first European title. Toulouse, who have already won the Bouclier de Brennus twice, are a formidable outfit, inspired by Antoine Dupont, the 2021 World Rugby player of the year. Over a million people are expected to watch the game via French TV, and there will be a lot of interest in the battle between the towering locks Emmanuel Meafou and Will Skelton, who stand at 2.03m tall. More than half of the matchday squads are expected to feature at this year’s Rugby World Cup, with France hosting New Zealand on September 8 to open the tournament.
Toulouse poses a challenge to La Rochelle’s double hopes in rugby.
