Full time here in Toulouse and its the home team who ran out winners in what was a sloppy enough affair in southern France. Multiple knock ons and fumbling of the ball meant there were more than enough scrums throughout the game. Racing left their star men too little time to make an impact with Swarsewski and Sexton coming on with only 11 minutes to go. That said Toulouse will be happy with the win and see themselves push right up to 4th place in the table going into the 5th round.

Toulouse slot the try bonus point through substitute Tekori. After numerous rucks and desperate defence by Racing, the defence according to the TMO was breached however judging by the TMO the ball was not seen touching the ground, however ref Christophe Berdos asked the questions "is there any reason I can't award the try" and as the ball was not seen by the TMO the try was awarded.
