RC Toulonnais vs Stade Toulousain Prediction: A battle of two solid sides hoping for European glory

At Stade Mayol, RC Toulonnais will play Stade Toulousain in the quarterfinal round of the European Rugby Champions Cup. The two teams have shown quality up to this stage of the competition and will eye a win here. How will this game unfold? I preview this game below and offer predictions.

RC Toulonnais

RC Toulonnais will have to respond; they can display the same quality of play they showed against Saracens in top games like this as they eye the semis of this competition. While they needed a comeback performance last weekend against Saracens, scoring 45 points in a half won’t be an easy job against a side like this. Yet, RC Toulonnais have been wonderful in home matches, winning their last 12. Ahead of this game, RC Toulonnais have lost only once in this venue, having defeated Toulousain last April.

Stade Toulousain

Stade Toulousain keep showing they are up to the task and a win to book a semifinal spot will be what the fans will be delighted about. Leading the Top 14 standings, this team comes into this fixture as favourites. The visitors have done well to win four times in their last five matches, which will be a momentum boost for this side. Ahead of this game, they pulled off a 38-15 win over Sale Sharks in round ⅛. Stade Toulousain's lone defeat in recent games was against Bordeaux Begles, coming away from home.
