Toulouse, provisionally dispossessed of its place of leader Friday by La Rochelle, set the record straight by correcting the red lantern Agen (59-0) on Saturday, in Armandie, on the occasion of the 19th day of the Top 14 .

Between the two neighbors of the Garonne, there was no photo or suspense despite difficult conditions.

Nine tries registered, movement, seriousness, the men of Ugo Mola carried out their rugby, sometimes as in training in the first period (33-0), a little less after the break with a slightly more muddled production and therefore less effective.

A lot of confidence, before seeing their internationals leave for internship in Nice to prepare for the next Six Nations tournament.

The latter did not reserve.

The hooker Julien Marchand offered himself a double (21st, 28th), Antoine Dupont illustrated a half-time in the scrum, twenty-six minutes at the opening with a test to the key of which he has the secret ( 66th) before going out and the flanker François Cros made a good comeback, three months after his fracture of the second metatarsal.

Forgotten from Fabien Galthié's list, top scorer in the championship Matthis Lebel healed his stats with a hat-trick (8th, 11th, 42nd), the first two tries of which set the tone for this one-sided derby.

Note also the big showdown in the second line of the Australian Emmanuel Meafou, who also finished behind the line (33), and the two tries at the end of the game of Alban Placines after a penalty (74) and Peato Mauvaka while power (79).

After this fifteenth defeat in fifteen matches, the situation of the AUS has hardly changed.

He knows he is condemned to Pro D2 with his 19 points behind the barrage Montpellier.

This Saturday, the Lot-et-Garonnais did not have all their weapons to exist, with about fifteen players in the infirmary.

The carefree youth lined up tried but couldn't do anything, despite some intentions.

Before the break, the men of Régis Sonnes benefited from two penalties, without succeeding in finding the loophole in the visiting defense.

When they returned from the locker room, their main highlight of the game ended with a forward.
