RC Toulon has made a strong return to the 2025 Investec Champions Cup after a tough 0-0-4 campaign in 2024, finishing first in Pool 4 with a 3-0-1 record.

Toulon also sits third in Top 14 play with a 13-0-7 record.

However, the path hasn’t been without challenges, including a narrow one-point victory in Round 2 over the Glasgow Warriors, which easily could have resulted in a second loss.
