Full time and Castres have ran out 22-15 winners. A hard fought win for the champions in which was a battle between the kickers. All that separated the sides at the final whistle is a try from Brice Mach. Toulon weren't at their best today and never really looked like scoring a try, the Heineken Cup champions will be disappointed but they leave Castres with a losing bonus point.
