Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle slumped to a crushing nine-try 60-14 defeat against Toulouse in front of a full-house at Stadium Toulouse in the final Top 14 match of 2025.

A rejuvenated Antoine Dupont, on his second start since his return from an ACL injury in March, scored two in three first-half minutes and made one of Toulouse’s five tries before the break, as they roared back to the top of the table at the end of the year.
