Surprised to see Toulouse down in 5th! Doesn't seem as if their stint in the English championship didn't pay off too much, has their squad changed dramatically?
Here's a thread Hutch, may explain it a bit more mate.

Players of the SOA have been successful in the competition for precious semi-finals but the way has not convinced everyone.
DOMINATION. Despite this, Avignon failed to prevent some abuses defensive. Photo Marjorie Barré.
For their last home game of the season (unless they finish 3rd or 4th, in which case they would play a quarter final in Saint Ruf), the Bisons have provided most by winning the victory over Limoux XIII. But teammates Olivier Arnaud do not necessarily reassured after the disappointment suffered two weeks earlier on the same meadow. They are only 18 points separating the two teams on the scoreboard after the game (52-34).
Beautiful entry in
The Bisons came back well in their match as Captain Avignon pointed the way just after the kick-off by a trial planted in the corner, to left field (the first). Nicholls replied in good fox ten minutes later as usual under the spinning poles (11th) before the Towers, the insatiable Aude back canes do so to allow his teammates to pick up the score (14th). It was not until the machines and Kelly Khattabi into place to add two additional passages lady (18th and 23rd). But Limouxins rebiffaient is through the young Eljaghmati (39th), just after qu'Kelly did scored his second try of the game (36th). From 28 to 12, we thought the game unfolded at the half but ...
Second period winded
... It was nothing! From the restart, the visitors' captain, Michael Murcia, scrum-half for experienced going to talk about his class and talent to restore hope to the "Red and Black" in decline. Mataka maintained the distance between the two teams at the scoreboard, taking everything in its path (the 49th). Kelly twice (59th and 69th) will sign a four-fold before Liguoro not put an end to the harvest of local trials (67th). The Limouxins make a great resistance by scoring three runs later, then two in the last five minutes. One win and three points acquired, but work remains to be done to try to worry the big guns at the final stages.

The match: A good start of the TO
The Toulouse well begin this meeting with an occupation of the land to their advantage. Despite a penalty included in the 8th minute of play by Arnaud, the premises are located in the camp of Vauclusiens and a clever kicking game Johnathon Ford from behind the defense, Gregory WHITE scored the first try of the match (13 '). 4-2.
The Toulouse penalized and deprived of many balloon
After a good 20 minutes early, the Olympians will make too many balls, either by hand or mistakes on many penalties. The powerful and aggressive Bisons, watered possession, then put their game up and launched an assault on the line in-goal. Darren Nicholls, the former half of the TO, the first strike, after good work from his forwards, he attacks the line of defense and is an interval. 4-8. Then on a kick of his opener, Escapa, party offside, commits obstruction of Adam Innes, pushing in the back while the Toulouse winger was going to grab the ball, and mark the stud. The referees of the day validate the test ... 4-14. Gilles Dumas's men defend a lot (too much) and no longer able to keep the ball. They get a real test (Liguoro) and an additional penalty before half time to return to the locker room on a heavy 4 to 22.
The beginning of the second act feels like the end of the first. The premises were reduced to 12 after the temporary exclusion of Theo GONZALEZ-metric for repeated fouls, are condemned to defend and without the ball, they run out. The protected part of Renaud GUIGUE three additional trials in 20 minutes by the very strong and KELLY WOOD extirpate that waste from the clutches of the defense of the TO. 4-40.
A reaction to the honor
The fate of the match is then sealed and the account of penalties will then be a little lopsided. The Toulouse try and offer a lot last stand late in their audience. They score 2 tries in the last fifteen minutes, by Sebastien Planas in support of a breakthrough for Guy Williams, and Adam INNES again after a nice concatenation WILLIAMS-Planas. 16 to 40.
