The hits just keep on coming here, massive physicality.

TRY TOULON!. First major score of the game goes the way of the home side, greeted by a massive roar from the crowd.Wonderful team score involving centres Maxime Mermoz AND Mathieu Bastareaud. Toulon now lead 10-3.

Bit of ill-discipline both sides gives the kicker's chances to get off the mark and there is no problems for Nicolas Sanchez and Brock James. Score's now at 3-3.

Physical opening to the game so far. Toulon take the ball towards the Clermont 22 through the work of that man Mathieu Bastareaud.

And we are underway at Stade Felix Mayol!
