Antoine Dupont leads Toulouse to Top 14 summit with win over Montpellier

Stade Toulousain moved to the top of the Top 14 table following a 40-18 victory over Montpellier. The match was highlighted by standout performances from Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack, who appear to be regaining peak form.

Dupont scored two tries during the match, including a brace scored within two minutes during the second half. Teddy Thomas also contributed two tries for the champions. Despite facing early challenges, including playing with 14 men for 20 minutes due to yellow cards, Toulouse secured a bonus-point win.

The performance provides a significant boost for the French national team ahead of November international fixtures. France head coach Fabien Galthié, who had previously expressed concerns regarding injuries to key players, may see the Toulouse duo return to the national squad following their high-level displays.
