TRY LA ROCHELLE! Fantastic start from the visitors as they build a brilliantly constructed attatck right from the kick-off before winger Alofa crossed to touch down! Peter Grant landed the conversion to complete his side's dream start. 7-0.
And we're off with Toulon kicking off!
Teams are out on the field and we're almost good to go!
Good evening and welcome to all of you stopping in for this Top 14 clash between defending champions Toulon and newly promoted La Rochelle. Toulon opened their campaign last week with a good away win to Bayonne in the first game of the new season and the champions will expect more of the same as they play their first game in front of their famous home support since last season's historic double. La Rochelle also came into the season off the back of a positive showing in the previous one, earning promotion to the top flight as runners up to Lyon in the French Pro D2. However they will have completely contrasting aspirations for the campaign ahead. Off the back of a tough 20 point defeat in their opener to Brive, things are unlikely to get any easier for them today. However the chance to compare themselves against the best in Europe may motivate the players and lead to a spirited performance. We look forward to bringing you all the details as the match unfolds.
