PENALTY TOULON. Instant response through the boot of O'Connor, cancelling out Urdipaletta's previous effort. This will please Laporte as they seek to keep in touch when down to 14 men. 6-6

Big blow for Toulon as French international prop Xavier Chiocci is sin-binned after being penalised at scrum-time. Can Oyonnax make the numerical advantage pay now is the question.

Good evening all and welcome to our coverage of this French Top14 clash between hosts Oyonnax and the visiting Toulon. Reigning champions Toulon have been motoring along nicely but will be wary of the fact that they lost this very fixture last season. On the contrary, Oyonnax will take confidence from that fact however they have just stuttered to only two wins out of seven so far. Sitting on opposite ends of the table the two teams will have opposite motivation for the game, Toulon sit just three points adrift of the top while Oyonnax are only one point clear of the bottom.
