Stade Toulousain, 1912


This year, Stade Toulousain is celebrating its 100th anniversary... here is the team that won French Championship for the first time in 1912 (defeating Racing Club de France 8-6 in final... in Toulouse... I have a couple of pictures to show another day...)

Holding the ball (center of the picture) is Pierre Mouniq, at the time the only international player of the team - 9 caps between 1911 and 1913, so one of the guys who enjoyed France first international victory against Scotland in January 1911 (his stats at scrum.com are here).

Sitting on the left is Pierre Jaureguy, 4 caps in 1913... and elder brother of French rugby superstar in the 20s Adolphe Jaureguy).

I have a question for the "Toulousains" visiting this blog (I know of couple of them...) : Standing of the left is Joseph Servat... could this gentleman be related to current Stade Toulousain hooker William Servat ? (a full size pictureis available here...)

By the way, Stade Toulousain defeated London Irish in HCup earlier today... I take the opportunity to post again this cool video of the Jackass guys pretending to be rugby players and "infiltrating" London Irish training camp... A bit tough at the beginning... but they don't do half bad at the end... Actually, this is the kind of humour that a rugger understands !
