Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

The ref sounds his whistle bringing this tightly-fought encounter to a close. It is visitors Toulon that emerge as overall victors. Bitter disappointment for the home side as although the arguably played the better rugby, the lacked that clinical edge in turning territory into points. Toulon can consider themselves lucky that despite playing the majority of the game on the back foot - their two break away tries were enough to seal the game off. They now join Clermont at the top of the Top 14 table.

But that marks an end to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this epic clash. Hope you all enjoyed it!
