Great win by Stade!

Ultimate Rugby Dec 12

Full-Time: Stade Francais run out 30-6 winners against the reigning Top14 Champions, Toulon, in Paris. Stade were the better side throughout the whole game leading from start to finish. They dominated in every aspect of the game. Plisson was the stand out performer for the hosts tonight with the outhalf imperious with the boot. Stade now sit on top of the Top14 as they leap frog Toulon to top spot. Toulon have a lot of questions to answer following that performance. In truth, they never once played at the level that was expected of them. Too many unforced errors and ill discipline cost them the game. Thanks for staying with our live coverage throughout this evening! Happy New Years!

A superb skip pass out wide from Plisson was taken well by Doumayrou who was able to beat two defenders before offloading and sending Sinzelle over in the corner. Wonderful rugby from the hosts. Plisson adds the conversion.

Toulon are on the attack in the Stade 22 and building the phases.

Halfpenny has another effort that falls short of the posts. Very uncharacteristic of the Welsh man who is well known for his distance kicks. Toulon still trail by 10 points.

As we enter the final ten minutes of the game can Toulon find a way to close the ten point deficit?
