Top 14 Highlights: Toulon v Montpellier
- 2205
It ends all square at the Stade Felix Mayol with Guilhem Guirado unable to inspire his new side to victory over his former employers. A rather testy first half saw the only points come from the tee with Henry Immelman nailing a long ranged effort while Cruden missed a sitter and slotted another. Meanwhile, Anthony Belleau had similar luck from the tee nailling three and missing a sitter as Toulonn lead 9-6 at the break. The first half also saw Masivesi Dakuwaqa go to the bin for an intentional knock on and Levan Chilachava joined him after conceding a penalty while Toulon looked certain to score. Rhys Webb sniped over for the first try after a brilliant run by Cordin as Toulon extended their lead to 16-6 but Montpelier hit back quickly with a Cruden penalty and a beaut of a try from a counter attack fro Anthony Bouthier to level scores 16 all with 16 minutes to play. Cruden and Belleau both slotted penalties but neither side was able to claim the knockout blow as it ended 19 a piece.
