Champions Cup standingsBlair Kinghorn on 'nerve-wracking' Toulouse move, learning French & his best role

Toulouse recorded the highest winning margin of any side in the opening Champions Cup games, with a 52-7 victory against Cardiff Blues.

Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn scored two tries on his Toulouse debut and retains his place.

Despite Antoine Dupont's announcement that he will focus on the World Rugby Sevens Series in 2024, the Toulouse captain remains at scrum-half.

The French side are sixth in the Top 14 but remain the only side to have won five Champions Cups.

Ulster, Bath, Racing 92 and Cardiff are the other sides in Pool 2.
