Toulon power crushes Ulster

To get a handle on the different weight divisions in this contest at a blustery Kingspan Stadium yesterday, consider the following traffic report from the first half: inside two minutes, Toulon lose Puma legend Juan Fernandez Lobbe, only to be replaced by World Cup-winning Springbok Juan Smith; and then, before the half-hour mark, the hamstrung Wallaby Matt Giteau went off, allowing his brilliant, if occasionally wayward compatriot, James O’Connor, to slot in at 10. Money talks, and it’s a persuasive argument.
