A rejuvenated Toulouse team loses the gong against La Rochelle and leaves the lead of the Top 14 to UBB

Breathless last ten minutes

After an attempt to play at the foot of Ihaia West diagonally on the right towards Jack Nowell aborted by the Toulouse defense and a scrum in its favor, La Rochelle finally ended up scoring on a clearance from Simon Daroque blocked by Oscar Jegou and followed by hooker Tolu Latu, unconverted try by West (5-0, 14th). Shortly after, Toulouse unlocked its counter on a penalty from Valentin Delpy following a foul by Latu (5-3, 20th). Seven minutes later, the Toulouse flyhalf gave his team the only advantage with a new penalty (5-6, 27th). And a third to punish undisciplined La Rochelle play (5-9, 35th). It was time to react for O'Gara's men who finally brought to an end a long sequence ended with a try from Jegou, transformed (12-9, 38th).
