Eleza kifupi makala hiyo:  Twickenham itaandaa mgongano mkubwa kati ya juggernauts mbili za Ufaransa katika siku 13<unk> wakati, ingawa msafara wa Toulon wa kushinda jina la tatu la Ulaya lisilo na kifani karibu karibu na kusimamishwa huko Stade Velodrome Jumapili.

Bernard Laporte's stellar side didn't come to life until this dismal encounter went into extra-time and they were only galvanised once they had been reduced to 14 men, when Ali Williams was sin-binned for taking out Devin Toner in the air.

Mchezaji wa winger wa Toulon Bryan Habana anaingia mbio kwa jaribio la kuamua katika muda wa ziada dhidi ya Leinster. Habana alikatiza kupitisha kwa muda mrefu kwa Ian Madigan kukimbia bila kupingwa katika Stade Velodrome. Mlinzi wa Leinster Rob Kearney anamshinda mchezaji wa Toulon Juan Fernandez Lobbe kwa mpira wa juu katika nusu ya kwanza. Badala ya kudhoofishwa na kupotea kwa lock ya All Blacks ya zamani, Toulon alifunga pointi muhimu wakati alikuwa nje ya uwanja. Ushindi wao ulitegemea mchezaji wao wa Welsh Lion, Leigh Halfpenny, ambaye alimaliza na alama 20 kutoka penalti sita na ubadilishaji. Leinster walijaribu kutumia faida yao ya idadi na ilirudi nyuma katika dakika ya 90 wakati Ian Madigan's kupita kwa muda mrefu alikamatwa na Bryan Habana na mrengo wa Springbok uliingia wazi kwa jaribio la mchezo tu.

Jimbo la Ireland haingekuwa kwenda kimya kimya na wakati Sean O'Brien akaenda juu kutoka karibu-range lineout gari, walikuwa nyuma katika kuwinda na dakika tano iliyobaki, lakini haikuwa hivyo. Kwa hiyo, kilele cha mashindano mapya ya bara litakuwa na hisia ya kawaida.
