Hamilton returns from the bin and Montpellier need to tighten up soon before this game becomes very one-sided.

TRY TOULON. This time it's hooker Jean Charles Orioli who crashes over for his side's third try. Under Top 14 rules this currently gives Toulon a bonus point as they have 3 more tries than Montpellier. Giteau converts and it's 31-3 now.

Toulon are in complete control of this game and camped inside the Montpellier 22.

TRY TOULON. Menacing start to the half for Toulon as they turn the ball over, work it one way and then the next, constantly stretching the depleted Montepllier defence before wing David Smith crosses out wide. Giteau does not strike the touchline conversion at all and it's 24-3 to Toulon.

Francois Trinh-Duc kicks us off for the second half!

Teams coming back out to the field, nearly ready for the second-half.

And it's half-time here. Toulon have dominated for most periods of the game and made it tell with a flurry of points towards the end to open some day-light. Montpellier will begin the second-half still reduced to 14 men and if they don't provide something drastic they may be in danger of falling out of reach in this game.

Wilkinson returns having undergone repairs.

PENALTY TOULON. Giteau does well in continuing the kicking duties in Wilkinson's absence. Another fine break from Armitage looked like it would lead to a try but instead a penalty results. Jim Hamilton is sin-binned, he seemed unsure as to why and replays don't seem to be very conclusive either. 19-3 Toulon lead.

TRY TOULON. Juan Smit crosses for his first try since returning to the game! A wonderful show and go from Delon Armitage led to the Englishmen making a fine break. Just one phase later Tillous-Borde and Hayman linked up well to free the Springbok Smit who scores. Giteau converts and it's 16-3.
