Stade Toulousain players have achieved significant individual milestones and expressed ambitions for international competition.

In August 2026, winger Matthis Lebel entered the club’s top 10 all-time try scorers with 77 tries in 179 matches. During this period, teammate Jack Willis praised Antoine Dupont’s ability to maintain elite performance, noting Dupont scored a hat-trick in nine minutes upon returning to Top 14 action following the Olympics.

By September 2026, the focus shifted toward future international prospects.
