    Spectacular from Dan Sheehan as he strips Antoine Dupont and bursts into the clear.

    It takes a cover tackle from Kinghorn to stop the try before Dupont sweeps back in behind and secures the breakdown turnover.

    The man really can do it all!

    Ohhh!

    A scary moment for Leinster as Antoine Dupont charges down James Lowe and the ball could go anywhere.

    It falls to Ryan Baird and the flanker threads his kick away from danger.

    Toulouse's power at the breakdown is proving a massive factor so far.

    Leinster have to get to grips with the counter-ruck and protect the ball.

    A simple rugby phrase for this one - Test match intensity!

    The hits on show are of the highest quality and power. Biggest hit of Blair Kinghorn's career?

    Still all a bit frantic from Leinster who are forcing things a touch.

    James Lowe makes a half break but the attempted offload goes to deck.

    Some ferocious hits in this one so far with Kinghorn lining up Ross Byrne on the kick reception.

    In last season's final, Leinster raced into a 17-point lead after just 12 minutes against La Rochelle.

    A bit different this time round, but they are looking confident in attack as they look for the opening try.

    Toulouse collapse the maul and ship the penalty.

    Leinster, playing with advantage, can't force the opening and they'll go to the maul again.

    In the face of that aggressive linespeed from Toulouse, Ross Byrne opts for the cross kick, forcing Toulouse into conceding another line-out in the corner.

    Another opportunity for the Irish side's maul...

    Toulouse repel the maul and when Leinster look to go wide, the French side's linespeed forces more scrappy ball.

    Again the counter-ruck forces the penalty and Toulouse escape.

    Leinster finally enjoying a spell on the ball but there's a real degree of chaos in their attempts to move the ball when compared to Dupont and Ntamack for Toulouse.

    Paul Costes is caught not rolling away and Leinster go to the corner.

    Can their maul get them back into this one?

    Toulouse are fully in command so far. Ntamack is the one who is pushing Leinster back - it's so good to see him back. I believe France would have been in the World Cup final if he'd been fit.

    Thomas Ramos who? Two perfect and not easy strikes for Blair Kinghorn off the kicking tee.

    He missed two kicks in Toulouse's semi-final against Harlequins, but was trusted again.

  20. Penaltypublished at 7 mins

    Such destructive ruck work from Toulouse with Meafou leading the way.

    The pack earn the penalty and Kinghorn knocks over another, just squeezing the ball inside the right-hand post.
