The Stade Toulousain scorer spoke at length to our colleagues at Midi Olympique. He, among other things, returned to his status as a substitute during the Champions Cup semi-final against Harlequins. Ugo Mola preferred, at full-back, the Scotsman Blair Kinghorn.
“I felt a lot of frustration not to start a match of this importance. Every rugby player dreams of starting in the Champions Cup semi-final at home, at the Stadium, in front of 35,000 people. It was hard to take at the time, admits Thomas Ramos. But that’s how it is, it’s high-level sport. I knew that I was going to come on and that, as always, the substitutes would have an important role to play. I tried to focus on that and ignore my personal disappointment.”
Will the Stade Toulousain fullback start this Saturday in the final against the Irish province of Leinster? Response at the end of the week with the team composition chosen by Ugo Mola.
