Toulouse stormed to the summit of the Top 14 standings with a resounding 44-5 win over Toulon at the Stade Ernest Walloon on Saturday evening.
Toulon went into the game without their talismanic fly-half Jonny Wilkinson but his absence was no excuse for a poor display. Credit to Toulouse, though, they were magnificent and tore into Toulon from the off, registering two tries inside the opening ten minutes through Maxime Medard and Vincent Clerc.
A shell-shocked Toulon dug in thereafter and managed to keep their hosts scoreless while Mafileo Kefu was in the sin bin. However, Toulouse effectively put the game beyond them when Clement Poitrenaud dived over just a minute before the break.
