Toulouse will host Bayonne at Ernest-Wallon for the sixth round of the TOP 14, a professional rugby union competition in France. Toulouse, known as the Rouge et Noir, are currently leading the league with 19 points, while Bayonne, often referred to as the Basques, are in third place with 17 points. Toulouse recently secured a narrow 8-7 victory over Castres at Pierre-Fabre, a stadium in the south of France. The win was hard-fought, with Matthis Lebel scoring the only try for Toulouse and Juan Cruz Mallia contributing with a successful kick. The match saw Toulouse make 146 tackles, highlighting their defensive resilience. Earlier in the season, Toulouse had scored an impressive 117 points across their previous three matches. Bayonne, coming into this game with four wins in their last five rounds, recently defeated Stade Français 35-32 in a closely contested match. However, their only loss this season was a heavy 70-28 defeat at Pau, which highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities. The upcoming match against Toulouse holds historical significance, as Bayonne had previously beaten Toulouse 40-26 at Jean-Dauger in October 2025. Toulouse later responded with a 31-10 victory at Ernest-Wallon in January, showing the rivalry between the two teams. The match will take place on Sunday, October 11, starting at 9:05 PM at Ernest-Wallon. It will be broadcast live on Canal+, a major French television channel. Fans of rugby are expected to gather in large numbers, as this game not only has important implications for the league standings but also continues a storied rivalry between the two teams.
