In Toulouse, Antoine Dupont’s teammates see life in pink. Stade Toulousain started the final phase of the Champions Cup perfectly by dominating the Blue South African Bulls (33-9) and advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Thomas Ramos man of the match
Dominant in the first period, the Haut-Garonne were unable to capitalize on their opportunities and had to rest on the foot of Thomas Ramos, elected man of the match with a 100% in front of the poles (12-6). Upon returning from the locker room, Stade Toulousain gave a decisive boost thanks to tests by Emmanuel Meafou (50th) and Matthis Lebel (54th). Thibaud Flament finally drove the point home in the 65th minute, ensuring the qualification of Stade Toulouse.
