The golden generation of Dupont, Ntamack, Ramos & co has struck again: three years after their Top 14 – European Cup double, here they are doing it again at the end of the 2023-2024 rugby season! After beating Leinster (31-22) in the European Cup final, they crushed Union Bordeaux-Bègles in the Top 14 (59-3), doing even better than their glorious elders (Christian Califano, Émile Ntamack… ) authors of a double in 1996. They will remain “forever the first” to have achieved this feat twice, as indicated by Thomas Ramos, the Toulouse full-back, in the preface.
This 2024 Rugby Golden Book retraces the two Toulouse coronations, but also the entire Top 14 season, in particular the beautiful course of the Stade Français and the UBB, as well as the complicated year of Montpellier, where Bernard Laporte was called to the rescue. A Breton wind blew through the Pro D2, pushing Vannes to the final victory and a historic rise to the Top 14.
As for the French second place.
A very rich new rugby season that this new opus of the Guestbook offers to keep in mind, with the most beautiful images and statistical sheets from the newspaper L’Équipe.
Pierre Michel Bonnot, a former rugby journalist at L’Équipe, has followed the French XV since 1978. As for Maxime Raulin, a senior reporter at L’Équipe, a rugby specialist, he chronicles the Top 14 as close as possible to the players.
