Toulouse dominates Section Paloise in Top 14

Stade Toulousain handed a heavy defeat to Section Paloise (59-22) in a Top 14 match, scoring 40 points in the first half. Paloise manager Sébastien Piqueronies acknowledged Toulouse's superiority, while Antoine Dupont was reassuring about a minor injury.

On Saturday evening, Stade Toulousain convincingly defeated Section Paloise 59-22 in a Top 14 match, with the Béarnais conceding nine tries. Toulouse dominated the first half by scoring 40 points, before a brief lapse in the second half marked by a yellow card to Antoine Dupont. The team captain praised the performance to Canal+ microphone: «C’est un résultat hyperpositif. Il n’y a pas grand-chose à redire sur notre première mi-temps où on marque 40 points. On a un trou d’air en seconde mi-temps, quand je prends mon carton jaune. Mais on a su rebondir et reprendre le match en main, ce qu’on n’avait pas souvent réussi à faire depuis le début de la saison».

Section Paloise manager Sébastien Piqueronies analyzed the defeat as a learning experience: «Pour nous, c’était 80 minutes d’apprentissage du haut niveau. Il y avait une équipe très réaliste, forte sur ses bases, et ce n’était pas nous. On y a mis beaucoup de cœur, on se rapproche de la ligne, mais on n’est pas assez réalistes». He acknowledged Toulouse's dominance: «Il y a Toulouse et les autres. Excusez-moi de vous surprendre, mais pour moi, là, rien n’a changé». Despite the rout, Piqueronies saw a positive side: «Au contraire, je trouve que c’est bien pour nous d’apprendre à ce niveau-là».

Dupont, soon rejoining the France team for the Six Nations after a knee injury in March 2025 against Ireland, expressed impatience: «C’est spécial pour moi car ça fait presque un an que je n’ai pas porté le maillot de l’équipe de France. J’ai vraiment hâte d’y être». Regarding a jaw hit during the match, he downplayed it: «J’ai pris un coup mais rien de méchant». His last Top 14 yellow card dated back to the 2016-2017 season at Castres.
