Stade Toulousain 37-22 Stade Montois
Stade Ernest Wallon, Toulouse

As predicted, Toulouse got their bonus-point win but it didn't come easily as the hosts needed a massive final quarter to claim victory against the club with the smallest budget in the Top 14.

Indeed, the visitors were in front with 20 minutes to play before the wheels came off in spectacular fashion.

Toulouse raced to a 14-6 lead thanks to early tries from prop Jean Baptiste Poux and wing Vincent but Mont-de Marsan led 19-17 at half time thanks to a try from centre Jean Paptiste Dubie and four penalties from fly-half Thibault Duvallet.

Duvallet extended the lead after the break with drop from 40m out but Lionel Beauxis replied on the hour mark.

From there it was downhill for les Montois, who coughed up three yellow cards and two tries as the Toulouse bench came to the rescue.

Virgile Lacombe crashed over at the back of a maul before Louis Picamoles muscled his way over for the bonus point.
