Toulouse rue ‘The End of the Dream’

FOR French rugby magazine Midi Olympique it was “The End of the Dream”. For L’Equipe it was “Munster – English Style”.

“That fourth star stretched out its arms to them,” said Toulouse paper La Depeche. “But alas they were just too short.”

For some French fans Toulouse lost because the other side “wouldn’t play proper rugby”, and because of a Welsh referee who didn’t speak their language and was familiar with Munster’s style of play.
