TOULOUSE WINS THIS SHOCK AND TAKES FIRST PLACE IN THE TOP 14!

If the second period was not high-flying, the first still highlighted an untenable Antoine Dupont. Deprived of bonuses for a time, Toulouse took it back thanks to a final try from Mauvaka. Toulouse is first in the Top 14 ahead of La Rochelle!

THE THIRD TEST OF TOULOUSE! (ST 20-3 TOU)
It’s extraordinary what’s happening at Ernest-Wallon! Again Dupont with the stick who passes his arms, pushes with his foot and scrapes a ball in the same action. We open on Meafou who will flatten quietly, Ramos investigates 20 to 3!
