A deliberate knock on 5 metres from his own line earns Nicolas 10 minutes in the bin. It brought an end to what was a scintillating spell of play from Toulon. Instigated by a break from Bastareaud, lovely offloads from Bruni and Botha allowed for the ball to be kept alive. A definite opportunity to get the first try of the game! Wilkinson equalises the teams once again at 15-15

Half time and Grenoble get there noses in front just before the break through the efforts of Caminati. An absolute monster from the winger who continues the master class of kicking displayed in the first half. A game that has been dominated by penalty after penalty it has yet to really loosen up. Cynical fouls from both teams could warrant a yellow card in the second half if they are to continue. Still everything to play for here at the Stade des Alpes so stay tuned to see how this one unfolds. Grenoble lead by 15 points to 12

Caminati steals the ball on contact and offloads to Coetzee who grubbers the ball forward. Noirot does very well to get back to touch the ball down before the speedy centre pounces! Even though Toulon lead by 3 Grenoble appear the most threatening

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

A beautiful break off the base of the line out by Courrent allows for a link up with Coetzee to race inside Toulon's 22. The outside centre is unable to hold onto the ball in contact however and its scrum Toulon. Grenoble displaying their attacking prowess early on in this game
