    Well, first missed kick off the tee in the match and what a time for it to happen.

    Gearing up for a big finish this.

    Can Bristol cling on to the lead and secure their first silverware since the John Player Cup of 1983?

    So, so close to another Toulon try.

    Pick-and-go, pick-and-go but Bristol holding them off - for now!

    One team just can't keep a hold of this game, it just continues to ebb and flow.

    Bristol 26-19 Toulon

    Another great response from Toulon as Sergio Parisse drives a maul deep into Bristol's 22.

    Toulon almost in for a try in the corner, but we come back for an earlier Bristol infringement.

    Max Malins threw a little half-step and he was away, he was fast. It was a really well taken try. He showed tremendous pace.

    Try once more for Bristol!

    A superb score from Max Malins sees Bristol re-take the lead and in some style.

    Alapati Leiua picks up the clearance kick from Toulon and then spins the pass to the right where Malins bursts through the line and drops his shoulder before sprinting clear from 40 metres out.

    Extras added from Sheedy to give Bears a seven-point lead.

    If this was a boxing match, I think we'd say that Bristol have won the past three rounds.

    But there's still plenty of chance for Toulon to come back into this game.

    And it's there and we're all square again!

    Callum Sheedy successful for a fifth time off the tee from almost halfway.

    Pat Lam claps his hands and shouts vociferously towards his Bristol side as we move into the final quarter.

    Which way is this one going now then?

    Bristol still playing in their very Bristol way trying to play their way out of their own half.

    It doesn't look like they'll be changing any time soon.
