Champions Cup finalists La Rochelle and Toulouse had a day of very different Top 14 fortunes against bottom-of-the-table opposition a week out from the showpiece match at Twickenham.

Following losses at Montpellier last weekend and at Brive on Tuesday with heavily rotated squads, La Rochelle's Ronan O'Gara and Jono Gibbes brought back a number of key players for some game time against former Bandon coach Regis Sonnes' already-relegated Agen.
