Toulouse full-back Matthis Lebel might have scored a contender for try of the season, but it was not enough as Castres held their nerve to claim a 26-24 Top 14 derby scalp on Saturday.
Lebel and Zack Holmes were the only two on Toulouse s teamsheet to have played the Top 14 leaders last two European Champions Cup matches.
Of the 23 involved in victories over Munster (40-33) and Clermont (21-12), 13 didn t even make the trip for the derby in southwest France, meaning the likes of the France half-back pairing of Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack and South Africa s Rugby World Cup winner Cheslin Kolbe were missing.
