After a nervy delay of about 25 minutes, firemen finally freed the parachutist and his chute to big cheers from the crowd.
The players, who had returned to the dressing room while the rescue took place, were called back out and the last-16 match finally kicked off.
Holders Toulouse went on to secure their place in the quarter-finals with a 38-15 victory.
Dominic McKay, chairman of tournament organisers European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), thanked everyone involved in Trouillet’s rescue.
“We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all involved at the stadium, both clubs and the emergency services for safely returning the parachutist to the ground,” he said.
“The safety of the individual and of spectators in the stadium is of the utmost priority.
“We will pick up with Stade Toulousain and the stadium in due course.”
