The Toulouse Bouclier de Brennus presentation is set for September 2 at Stade Ernest-Wallon, with supporters able to see the trophy during an open training session. Registration will be mandatory for anyone wishing to attend the session and view the shield.
It gives Toulouse fans the celebration they missed after the club’s latest Top 14 triumph. The planned festivities in June were called off because of storms.
Toulouse Bouclier de Brennus presentation: the key details
- **Date:** September 2
- **Venue:** Stade Ernest-Wallon
- **Access:** registration is required to attend the training session and see the trophy
- **Supporter activity:** Toulouse players are set to take part in an autograph session
- **Later in the day:** the players are set to complete a lap of honour with the Bouclier de Brennus
The event is reported to take place a few days before the Top 14 season resumes. For supporters, the important point is simple: the trophy will finally be brought in front of the public after a long wait.
Why Toulouse are holding the presentation now
Toulouse’s title celebrations did not go ahead on June 28, the day after the final against Montpellier, which Toulouse won 28-20. Violent storms were forecast in the city, while the Toulouse area had been placed under an orange weather warning by Météo France.
That meant there was no immediate public celebration of the French championship. The planned date could not be rearranged straight away, with the Nations Championship and the players’ holidays reported as factors in the delay.
More than two months on, the September 2 gathering is set to put that right. The club will present the Bouclier de Brennus after winning a fourth successive Top 14 title.
What the day means for supporters
The open session is more than a trophy appearance. The autograph opportunity gives supporters direct time with the squad, before the lap of honour brings the shield into the centre of the occasion.
For Toulouse, it is a delayed but fitting chance to share a title that had initially gone unmarked in public. For the supporters attending Ernest-Wallon, registration is the essential step before they can join the celebration.
