Toulon earn a scrum just inside Scarlet territory after a sustained attacking period - Scarlets defence holds strong though, and Toulouse fail to make signifiant ground..
Scarlets steal the line-out and Toulon find themselves under pressure early on. But referee JP Doyle spots an infringement at the breakdown, and Toulon relive pressure with a kick downfield.
Perfect start from the home-side, immediately reclaiming the kick-off, but they're turned over two phases later, and Scarlets boot the ball to touch, deep in Toulon territory..
The Scarlets kick off their 2014/15 European campaign with unquestionably one of the toughest challenges of any team - overcoming the reigning champs at home. Toulon currently sit second in the Top14 and carry an impressive unbeaten record at home in top-tier European rugby. Scarlets have had a rocky start to their Pro 12 season and look least likely to progress from this group, which also features Leicester and Ulster. Scarlets will hope that Toulon's recent loss to Toulouse will have unnerved the home-side, but Giteau's return doesn't bode well for the visitors.. Kick off on the way!
Good afternoon and welcome everyone to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of Toulon versus Scarlets.
