Toulouse finished the regular season on top of the table and will face either Bordeaux-Begles or Stade Francais in the final in Marseille on June 28th.

Victory in that match would crown Toulouse champions for a 33rd time and give them a European Champions Cup-Top 14 double for the third time after managing the feat in 1996 and 2021.

Ugo Mola's team scored tries through wingers Blair Kinghorn, Juan Cruz Mallia (2) and replacement Matthis Lebel as well as centre Santiago Chocobares.

La Rochelle led 20-15 at half-time with hooker Silatolu Latu and back-rower Gregory Alldritt grabbing tries before they fell apart after the break.

International props Uini Atonio and Reda Wardi were red-carded in the second half for a dangerous tackle and violent play respectively.

Victory mirrored Toulouse's dominance of the domestic league - they made the semi-finals on the back of a season-best 765 points scored and with 103 tries.

Toulouse will be playing in their fourth final in the last five years. Of those, they have won three, in 2019, 2021 and 2023.
