Vincent Pinto has chosen his team. An international rugby player with Portugal, the country of his forefathers, USA Rugby winger Colomerz will be in the stands for this evening's match. He has fond memories of the Rugby World Cup for the Portuguese national team on the field.
You have dual citizenship, French and Portuguese, which team will you prefer this evening?
Now that I'm playing in Colomiers, I'm 100% TFC. This succeeded a regional club that had been performing well for several years. Above all, I am a Paris Saint-Germain fan, like my father, who took me to the Parc des Princes when I was young. But in Portugal he was supporting Benfica Lisbon, so I supported that club as well. I went to watch several matches at the Estadio da Luz. Crazy atmosphere, great stadium.

Will you attend the match in the stadium?
Yes, I will be there and I will push behind TFC. I had my ticket to go watch the game against Liverpool but we were playing against Van that evening. I hope the game against Benfica is just as crazy.

During the Rugby World Cup, the stadium successfully selected the Portuguese national team (1W, 1N). It's a funny wink that Benfica is coming to play here…
It's great for the entire Portuguese community. I think the Benfica players heard about Portugal's exploits here during the World Cup. All rugby fans in Portugal remember this stadium. In addition, the Toulouse – Lisbon flight is not expensive, so many should make the trip. The atmosphere will be exceptional, like the one at Benfica.

What is your prognosticator?
When I go to the stadium I want to see goals, so I will say 1-0 or 2-0 to Toulouse. Qualifying would be great for the tournament.
