Toulon now enjoying some time in the Toulouse half.

Toulouse put some phases together and drive at the Toulon defence before earning a penalty, offside called against debutante Craig Burden. Gives Toulouse a chance to boot downfield and gain some territory.

Sloppy opening few minutes to this game with a number of knock-ons, crooked line-outs and the like.

Top 14 is the toughest league in the world !

Youngster Jean-Pascal Barraque kicks us off and puts it straight into touch. Nervy start for the young man.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our coverage of this eagerly awaited clash between second place Toulon and third place Toulouse from the Stade Ernest Wallon in Toulouse. Toulon are a much changed side from their relatively full-strength team that lost away to Cardiff in a disappointing performance in the Heineken Cup last weekend. Toulouse on the other hand have a relatively full deck on show and will be hoping to continue their good form that saw them battle out a win away to Premiership high-flyers Saracens last week. One interesting sub-plot will be the performance of former Toulouse hero Freddie Michalak in the opposing 10 shirt today.
