Toulouse and Racing Métro will be returning to Hong Kong this November for a ‘friendly’ match. Toulouse coach Guy Novès confirmed the fixture would be taking place for a second consecutive year. Toulouse ran out 19-12 winners in 2013.
Former Toulouse wing Hosea Gear told AFP after last year’s victory “Today was also about spreading the brand of both our clubs. It was a no-holds-barred game and both teams didn’t take penalties as the idea was to play as expansive a game as possible,” .
The timing of the fixture on November 15, means that leading internationals for both teams will be unavailable due to the Test matches taking place that month.
