Full time at the Stade Felix Mayol and Toulon have won by 19 points to 13. After a fiery first half which lacked any clear breaks the game opened up the second half. A brilliant try by Grosso was cancelled out by an equally good try by Giteau less than 2 minutes later. The boot of Wilkinson once again proved to be the deciding factor in this game and Toulon will be delighted to have finally beaten the team that cost them the trophy last year.
