Denis Brognart’s pole test, but better. Two environmental activists interrupted the Top 14 match between Stade Toulousain and Stade Français in the 14th minute. The two men, who wore t-shirts emblazoned with political messages like “we have 872 days left” and “49.3 kills”, clung to the goalposts with plastic cable ties.
Ugo Mola annoyed
The stewards dislodged them using a ladder and the match was able to resume after a short ten-minute break.
“It seemed to me that rugby was not political, but obviously some appropriate it,” said Ugo Mola, the Toulouse coach, at the microphone of Canal + during the interruption. A match of the last Roland-Garros tournament, but also a Tour de France stage were interrupted in this way this year.
