Maestri is yellow carded for striking the face of Dewald Senekal with his forearm. No doubt, a deserved yellow card

Toulouse get off to a blistering start! Some tight phase play and good ball retention from the Toulouse pack created space out wide for Alexis Palisson to skip over from close range and score the first try of the game. Excellent start from the visitors. McAlister adds the conversion.

Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the first week 7 Top14 clash between Bayonne and Toulouse from the Stade Jean Dauger. Both sides have had a relatively poor start to the Top14 season so far with both struggling to get into the top half of the table. Toulouse find themselves away from home for the second week in a row. A heavy defeat to fellow top of the table challengers Racing Metro last week I'm sure was hard to swallow for the South of France side. An away win will be crucial tonight to get their season back on track after an opening run of poor results. The same can be said for the hosts Bayonne. A strengthened squad this season has under fired thus far. A win at home is needed if they are to hold onto aspirations of making the end-of-season playoffs. Kick-off is just moments away. Stay with us for live coverage throughout!
