In a thrilling Top 14 encounter, Toulouse's star player Antoine Dupont made a triumphant return to form, scoring two tries and setting up another as his team dominated La Rochelle 60-14 on Sunday. The win propelled Toulouse to the top of the standings. La Rochelle got off to a flying start, with Davit Niniashvili scoring in the sixth minute. However, Toulouse quickly regained momentum, with Julien Marchand scoring their first try. Dupont then took center stage, showcasing his exceptional skills with a series of impressive plays. He scored his first try in over 14 months, capitalizing on a loose ball in midfield, and quickly added another by spinning past La Rochelle's defense. Dupont's second try was particularly notable, as he used his strength to stiff-arm La Rochelle's Tolu Latu and score. The French international's return to form was a welcome sight for Toulouse fans, who had been waiting for over a year to see him score in the Top 14. Dupont's performance was capped off by a pin-point crossfield kick that set up a try for Teddy Thomas before he was replaced after an hour. The win marked a significant milestone for Toulouse, who collected a bonus point and pushed Pau off the top of the standings.
