On December 5, during the match between Toulouse and the Stade Français (16-16), counting for the 10th day, two activists from the environmental group Last Renovation hung on the top of the posts of the Ernest-Wallon stadium, which had interrupted the game for several minutes. An intrusion which earned Stade Toulousain, summoned Wednesday evening before the Disciplinary and Regulations Committee of the National Rugby League (LNR), a fine of 5,000 euros.

When Didier Lacroix thinks about going back to anti-intrusion grids…
A sanction came to revoke a fine of 5,000 euros accompanied by the reprieve that the commission had pronounced on June 15. The reprieve disappeared, the fine remained. The day after the incident, Didier Lacroix had fulminated against the actions in question. “Whatever the claims raised, a stadium, our stadium, cannot be the scene of political or religious displays. This remains an intangible principle…” Furious, the president of the Rouge et Noir even went so far as to imagine a return to stricter security measures. “It is our duty to ensure that sports venues remain places open to everyone, with respect for diversity, the plurality of opinions, while remaining a vector of social ties. Otherwise, we would backtrack with the return of the anti-intrusion grids, which would deprive us of the finest definition of freedom and respect for the actors, the public, this chance which is that of rugby to this day. »
