As for Grenoble, they have taken their opportunities well and will be happy to be only 3 points adrift from their opposition. Stay tuned for the 2nd half!

Just before the break Grenoble grab the most opportunist of tries through Alipate Ratini! Toulon's defence appeared to completely fall asleep allowing a massive gap to open for the winger. Once he broke there was no stopping him. That wraps up what was an exciting opening 40 minutes! Toulon will be disappointed not to be further ahead as they will feel they have played most the rugby so far. Nicolas Sanchez will be kicking himself, in particular, for the amount of points he has left behind.
