  1. Toulouse 7-8 Sale

    It's very early days but so far, so impressive from Sale. Remember they were 14/1 shots before kick-off.

  2. Penalty - Toulouse 7-8 Sale

    George Ford

    Won the penalty, converts the penalty. And Sale lead at the quarter point.

  3. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    George Ford is taken out late after he chips the ball on and Sale get a penalty. That was a big hit from a very big chap in Emmanuel Meafou.

  4. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Sale drive two or three times at the Toulouse lines and look dangerous but scrum-half Paul Graou pops up from nowhere to dive in and win the ball back off the ground. Super sharp breakdown stuff so far.

  5. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Sale force a penalty from a lineout and George Ford is able to plant a kick deep into the 22. Can they make this territory count?

  6. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Some take from Thomas Ramos to climb into the sky and take a high, deep kick ahead of Tom Roebuck.

  7. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    So many line breaks in this game already, Pierre-Louis Barassi makes a Sale man miss with a great line but it comes to nothing. Sale are standing up well to the test.

  8. No try

    Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    That was almost superb as Toulouse kick the ball ahead into space, Thomas Ramos puts on the burners to try and get there but as he stretches in to touch it down the ball is just out of play.

  9. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Is this a try for Toulouse?!

  10. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    More great flanker play as Jack Willis now turns the ball over for Toulouse. Brilliant job to win the ball back.

  11. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Brilliant at the breakdown from Sale, Tom Curry is all over it and wins a penalty afer being neck rolled to the ground.

  12. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Toulouse win the battle of the first scrum with Dorian Aldegheri doing damage. The hosts tap a quick free-kick and fling the ball out wide.

  13. Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Some afternoon in the south of France this, already. It is end to end stuff.

  14. try

    Try - Toulouse 7-5 Sale

    Luke James

    What a start!

    A brilliant start to the game despite the late kick-off. Sale sweep from left to right and the move ends with full-back Luke James holding off a tackle and stretching for the line, superbly.

    George Ford can't make the conversion.

  15. Toulouse 7-0 Sale

    A good response form the visitors though. Both Curries and Tom Roebuck carry the ball well to gain some yards.

  16. try

    Converted Try - Toulouse 7-0 Sale

    Jack Willis (con Thomas Ramos)

    Well that did not take long! Sale held up the drive under the posts initially but it soom comes back the other way and Englishman Jack Willis dives over from a few yards out.

    Thomas Ramos, ever reliable, makes no mistake from the tee.

  17. Toulouse 0-0 Sale

    George Ford kicks out on the full and Toulouse mount an attack from the lineout. The French side are electric and nearly have a try inside 80 seconds but Paul Graou can't gather it cleanly...

  18. Kick-off

    Toulouse 0-0 Sale

    And we're under way!

  19. Toulouse v Sale (15:40 BST)
