The leaders of the Top 14, who remained on a severe defeat in the league in La Rochelle (30-7), did not shine in the suburbs of Manchester.

The South African took a direct red card for a dangerous clearing on the Toulouse pillar Dorian Aldegheri, victim of a shoulder blow to the head.
Another game against Ulster
The quadruple winners of the event (1996, 2003, 2010, 2021) ended up making the difference thanks to Melvin Jaminet's boot and two late tries from 2nd row Emmanuel Meafou, elected man of the match (70th), then hooker replacing Guillaume Cramont (72nd).
Now, Stade Toulousain is aiming for another victory on Sunday January 22 against Ulster in its lair of Ernest-Wallon, to secure an 8th final at home.
