But the ball has been stolen! Doussain clears the lines to the sound of the final whistle, drawing this one-sided encounter to a close. Apart from the rather fortunate block-down try midway through the 2nd half, the visitors never really showed up this afternoon and allowed Toulouse to dominate both the possession and territory. Although Toulouse squandered numerous try-scoring opportunities and were down to 14 men for a quarter of the game, they cannot be dissatisfied with a bonus point this evening thanks to a hattrick of tries from Yoann Huget that sees them join leaders, Toulon, on points in the Top 14 standings. Worthy winners in the end! But that concludes Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this one-sided affair at the Stade Ernest Wallon, hope you all enjoyed it!

Try for Toulouse! Although a man down, the visitors still find an opportunity to penetrate the Parisien defence. A brilliant line from veteran Yannick Nyanga sees him draw in 4 Parisien tacklers before delicately offloading the ball to Yoann Huget for his second try of the game. Doussain once again takes over the kicking duties to add the extras. 21-3 to Toulouse.

And the referee sounds his whistle bringing the tightly-contested opening 40 mins of rugby to a close. The half-time score here is 14-3 to Toulouse thanks to tries from wingers Hosea Gear and Yoann Huget. It cannot be denied that the hosts are deserved leaders, having dominated both possession and territory. They will be somewhat disappointed not to be further in front with two errant Luke McAllister penalties. The visitors can count themselves lucky only to be behind by 11 points, but with a man advantage, they will certainly be looking to start the second half on a positive note. But with only an 11 point gap, it is still very much to play for here at the Stade Ernest Wallon so be sure to stay tuned for what should be a thrilling final 40 minutes of rugby!
