Toulouse's rich culture enhances aura that makes them envy of Europe
Toulouse's Investec Champions Cup semi-final away against Bordeaux Bègles on Sunday promises to be a titanic match. Toulouse, the defending champions, are up against it. Antoine Dupont will be watching from the stands, too far from the action for even the world's best player to influence proceedings. Peato Mauvaka and Blair Kinghorn are also injured, along with their metronomic kicker, Thomas Ramos. And to cap it all, Bordeaux have home advantage; statistically that final point counts for a great deal in France. The absent Ramos had a poor day with the boot in the 21-18 quarter-final win away against Toulon, in which his team squeezed through with the final kick. It was an average game in terms of quality, yet an epic occasion —

Toulouse injuries mount as Ramos doubtful for Champions Cup semi
The French full-back, who is also Toulouse's first-choice goalkicker, is reported to be carrying a calf injury. It is a further injury worry for the defending champions ahead of Sunday's encounter in Bordeaux with hooker Peato Mauvaka, scrum-half Antoine Dupont and utility back Blair Kinghorn already missing through injury. Dupont, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury during the Six Nations match against Ireland, will not feature again before November while Mauvaka, whose absence because of a knee injury was announced on Wednesday, is also unlikely to play again this season. Scotland back Kinghorn is also suffering from a knee injury. In the event of Ramos' withdrawal, the versatile Argentinian three-quarter Juan Cruz Mallia is likely to take over at full-back although Italian flier Ange Capuozzo has recovered from a right ankle injury and is also expected to feature. © 2025 AFP

Toulouse hooker Mauvaka out of Champions Cup semi
FRANCE HOOKER PEATO Peato Mauvaka will miss Toulouse's Champions Cup semi-final against Bordeaux-Begles and will likely miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury, the Top 14 leaders announced on Wednesday. Mauvaka was seriously injured in training on Tuesday and while Toulouse have said he is set to be out of action for several months, they have not specified the full nature of the injury. Rugby newspaper Midi-Olympique, however, has suggested he damaged his cruciate ligament which, if correct, would mean he is unlikely to play again this season. Advertisement The 28-year-old, who has 42 caps, was a regular starter during the last Six Nations although he picked up a three-week suspension for foul play in the final match against Scotland. His place in the Toulouse starting line-up for Sunday's semi-final will pass to Julien Marchand, who also shares the hooking duties with France. Toulouse have already lost Antoine Dupont to a cruciate ligament this season with their totemic scrum-half injured in the Six Nations game against Ireland. Dupont is not expected to play again before November. Adding to their woes, Toulouse, the defending champions, will also be without Scotland back Blair Kinghorn, another to suffer a knee injury. International flier Ange Capuozzo, however, has recovered from a right ankle injury and is expected to feature. – © AFP 2025
