With a fourth victory in five days, brought back this Saturday from Brive (16-36, offensive bonus), Stade Toulousain is sure to keep the lead of a Top 14 disturbed by the Covid-19.
Cheslin Kolbe, Matthis Lebel, Thomas Ramos, Zack Holmes and Iosefa Tekori scored the five stadist tries.
The South African winger flattened into a corner for the fifth time this season in the 5th minute, before being replaced by Romain Ntamack in the 17th.

The 2019 world champion was visibly hit in the ribs, after being struck by the knee of his Brivist opposite Joris Jurand when diving to score his try.
An unsanctioned gesture ... Systematically holder since the start of the season, Kolbe would be sorely missed by the Rouge et Noir if he were to join the infirmary.
The Toulouse management was just happy to be able to keep its best offensive asset, in the absence of the French internationals selected for the very long series of six matches of the Blues during the fall: South Africa in fact withdrew for the Rugby Championship of the southern hemisphere, and the Springboks therefore remain at the disposal of their club.
