Deep in crisis (four defeats in the last five Top 14 matches), the Rugby Club Toulonnais offered itself a big breath of fresh air with a brilliant success in the championship against an unrecognizable Montpellier team beaten 54-7.
The Varois scored eight tries for an improved victory which will allow the Rouge et Noir to regain a place in the Top 6 before the rest of the 19th day.
Montpellier, 12th, could return to the red zone in the event of a victory for Perpignan away to Oyonnax, the red lantern.
