In rugby, Stade Toulousain faced a setback last night, suffering a defeat to Union Bordeaux-Bègles in the closing match of the 19th round of the Top 14. This loss marked a significant milestone for the 2024/2025 season, as it was the first match this season where Ugo Mola’s squad left the field without scoring any points. They still hold the top spot in the Top 14, but last night’s defeat was a stark reminder of the competition they face.
