O’Gara v Mola an intriguing sidebar to Top 14 finalToulouse coach Ugo Mola claimed early dibs on underdog status side ahead of what promises to be a blockbuster Top 14 final against a team he called ‘the best in Europe’ - Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle. The two coaches have a difficult public relationship. They have faced-off pitchside in the past, and O’Gara recently brusqued-off Mola’s praise of his side’s second Champions Cup crown. “It's not interesting, ” O’Gara snorted after his opposite number said La Rochelle ‘deserved’ their European success in the pre-final week of verbal grenades.
We'll keep it on the pitch. ” Mola’s 21-time champions finished the regular domestic season top of the table, three points clear of their opponents at Stade de France on Saturday, and 14 ahead of third-placed Stade Francais. It was the fifth time Toulouse finished the regular season in first place. They lifted the Bouclier de Brennus on the four previous occasions. And they have got the better of La Rochelle 13 times in the past 15 meetings in all competitions - including both finals between the two sides to date, in Toulouse’s double-winning year in 2021. But Mola made a point of handing the favourites tag to the back-to-back Champions Cup-winners, as he had two years ago. “The truth is, we're up against the best team in Europe, a team with character, ” he said.
