Leaving the qualifying positions in the Top 14 after a draw against Toulon and a defeat at Stade Français, Stade Toulousain was reassured in the European Cup. The Reds and Blacks won their fifth game in as many days this Saturday with the Connacht Irish (7-21). The place in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup is already assured, like those of Clermont, the Irish of Leinster and the English of Exeter.

The final reception of other Englishmen, those of Gloucester, on Sunday at Ernest-Wallon, should allow the Stadists to secure a quarter - even a half - at home.

Good operation from the @StadeToulousain which stands out against the @connachtrugby to reach the quarter-finals 👏

Will he be able to win his fifth Champions Cup in May in Marseille? 👀

Worn by their pack, the champions of France registered three tests this Saturday in Galway (by Jerome Kaino, Julien Marchand and Pita Ahki) before resisting 13 against 15 at the end of the game (yellow cards by Yoann Huget then red by Zack Holmes , 72nd and 74th minutes). Good for morale in this period of trough, even if the Connacht, already eliminated, had not aligned all its forces.
