  1. try

    Converted Try - Toulouse 54-7 Leicesterpublished at 53 mins

    Ange Capuozzo (con Thomas Ramos)

    Devastating pace.

    Leicester have the ball but that man Jack Willis is in at the breakdown with his hands on the ball. He even has time to look at the referee to check he is allowed to play and then feeds Ange Capuozzo out wide.

    The winger has green grass ahead of him and he pins his ears back before putting the breaks on and stepping past the covering Ollie Hassell-Collins.

    It's some finish and Thomas Ramos is back on target with the conversion.

    Dan (con Lozowski)

    Theo Dan gets his second try as the Saracens forwards push the hooker over the line from a maul.

    That's their fourth try from a forward in a dominant display.

    Toulouse 47-7 Leicester

    I've watched plenty of rugby but that was a first!

    Leicester try to run the ball through the hands but Ange Capuozzo attempts to disrupt with his boot rather than his hands.

    The winger makes contact with the ball but it's not a knock-on as it comes off his boot.

    He does spill the ball forward as he tries to pick it up but that is certainly one way to prevent being penalised for a deliberate knock-on.

    Thibaud Flament

    Instant reply from Toulouse.

    Toulouse throw to the back of the line-out and Julien Marchand charges at the Tigers defence.

    The hosts move it wide and Leicester try to intercept but the ball ricochets into Thibaud Flament's path and the lock just has to touch it down.

    Thomas Ramos is human, though, as he misses the conversion attempt.

    Jack van Poortvliet (con Jamie Shillcock)

    Decision to kick to touch vindicated.

    Leicester retain the ball in the line-out and move further in field. Jack van Poortvliet picks up from the breakdown and steps a couple of red shirts to snipe over.

    Tigers are on the board and Jamie Shillcock adds the conversion.

    Toulouse 42-0 Leicester

    Penalty to Leicester kicked to touch. That would have been an easy three for Jamie Shillcock but they opt to have a go from the line-out.

    Earl (con Lozowski)

    Saracens kick to the corner and the resulting maul from the line-out ends with Ben Earl going over for his second try on the stroke of half-time.

    Sarries lead for the first time as they seek the win that will give them a home tie in the last 16.

    It's been a masterclass by Toulouse.

    Leicester threatened to score late on but the hosts stood firm.

    Toulouse 42-0 Leicester

    Leicester have the tap penalty with Toulouse camped on their own line but Jack Willis is in quickly at the breakdown to foil the attack.

    I wonder what England would give for a bit of that during the upcoming Six Nations.

    Toulouse 42-0 Leicester

    The clock is in the red but Leicester are intent on playing with ball in hand.

    Ollie Hassell-Collins makes a break and the visitors win a penalty, which Handre Pollard pops into touch.

    Toulouse 42-0 Leicester

    Runners from deep with the ball constantly moving. Toulouse are the team to stop once again in this year's Champions Cup.

    They move it left and then right but Leicester manage to steal possession at the breakdown through skipper Julian Montoya.

    A chance to relieve the pressure.

    Adrien Seguret (con Louis le Brun)

    Castres, who have changed their entire 15 that started last week's thumping win over the Bulls, have regained the lead from a well-executed penalty play.

    Captain Adrien Seguret smashed his way over after running on to the ball at pace.

    Emmanuel Meafou (con Thomas Ramos)

    The hands of a centre.

    Toulouse have been dominant in the contact area and continue to push Tigers back before exploiting the space.

    Thibaud Flament rides the tackle and frees his arms to find his second row partner Emmanuel Meafou, who doubles his tally.

    Thomas Ramos maintains his 100% record from the tee.

    Toulouse 35-0 Leicester

    The bounce defies Ange Capuozzo.

    Romain Ntamack cruises through the Leicester defence once again but his kick wide bounces over his winger's head.

    Let off for the Tigers.

    Toulouse 35-0 Leicester

    Leicester have a chance to launch a rare attack but Jack Willis does phenomenally to disrupt the rolling maul.

    It collapses and the hosts win the decision.

    Julien Marchand (con Thomas Ramos)

    Too easy.

    Blair Kinghorn steps off his right leg to beat his man and offload to an onrushing Thibaud Flament.

    The lock gallops clear but is hauled down just short of the line, before Romain Ntamack steps in at scrum-half to pop the ball to Julien Marchand, who dives over.

    Thomas Ramos kicks the extras and Leicester just need half-time.
