The star player lit the first fuse for the “red and black” at Sandy Park this Sunday, December 15, putting his team on a good footing from the start.
They didn't hang around. This Sunday, December 15, in the southwest of England, the Rugby players at Stade Toulousain had every intention of marking their territory from the start. And that's exactly what they did, on the field of Exeter, who they challenge on the second day of the Champions Cup.

The “red and black”, arch-favorites, showed their muscles from the first minutes and quickly managed to make things happen in the 9th minute. And by whom? We give it to you in a thousand… The action starts with a breakthrough by François Cros, who breaks a tackle and then passes after contact for Alexandre Roumat. The latter delivers the ball to Pierre-Louis Barassi, before… Antoine Dupont finishes the job!

Toulouse test, for Dupont.
That was sexy, sexy rugby from Toulouse, no right to get one offload away let alone three. Ridiculous.
Just seemed effortless. #EXEvTOU #InvestecChampionsCup
