Mcalister's penalty comes back off the post and Stade clear the ball.

A great start by Toulouse as Mcalister links with Fickou and takes the ball all the way to the Stade 22 where they win a penalty after the home side fail to release the tackler.

And the match is under way at the Stade de France.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Stade Francais vs Toulouse. The game has huge playoff implications with Stade currently in fourth place in the table with the visitors lying just one place behind in fifth. Guy Noves hasn't wasted any time in recalling his international contingent, obviously realising the importance of this fixture after some uncharacteristic results for his side this year. With Toulon losing to Clermont last night, the winner here has a good oppurtunity to move closer towards a bye week when the playoffs start.
