After two rounds of Champions Cup action, the Top 14 picture is already full of drama.

Stade Toulousain's shock 28–21 loss to Glasgow stole the headlines. Toulouse looked set to roll after three unanswered first-half tries, including a feel-good score from Antoine Dupont in his first starting appearance since March. 

But Glasgow flipped the script, pouring on four second-half tries and leaving Toulouse stunned and scoreless. The result drops the reigning giants to third in Pool 1 on six points.

Bordeaux-Bègles are flying the French flag highest. Two wins, 15 tries, and a massive points differential have them level on 10 points with Northampton at the top of Pool 4, firmly in the title conversation. 

Castres, Toulon and La Rochelle are grinding it out with one win apiece, while Clermont, Bayonne and Pau are all but eliminated after winless starts.

It’s been a mixed but intriguing opening for the Top 14 including unexpected twists, rising contenders and plenty still to play for.
