    • FT DAVID SKRELA HAS WON IT FOR TOULOUSE WITH THE LAST KICK OF THE GAME! The former Stade Francais fly-half, who was boo-ed by the Toulouse supporters last week, looks like he has pulled his kick wide but he got a huge amount of reverse swing on the ball and it curls just inside the left post to win it 18-16 just as the final whistle goes
    • 80' Toulouse break and are playing advantage when they knock on and Bath think they've turned it over. They will go all the way back for the penalty though and it will all come down to David Skrela and whether he can put this kick between the posts from five metres inside the right touch line
    • 80' Bath are so close to getting the win and only need to get the ball out one more time but Toulouse turn the ball over
    • 79' Butch James misses a shocking conversion pulling it wide of the left post and there is only one point it in with a minute remaining!
    • 78' TRY BATH! The visitors work the ball across the field from the line-out with Abendanon receiving the ball from James and driving through Kelleher before getting the ball down just ahead of Nyanga. The decision rightly goes to the TMO as Nyanga ended up on his back with the ball but replays show the Bath full-back clearly got it down and the try is awarded
    • 75' Bath earn themselves a penalty as Toulouse start to look a little nervy in defence. James this time kicks for the corner as the visitors opt to go for the outright win
    • 71' This time Skrela does land his kick, sneaking it just inside the right post, and Bath will need a try if they are too win this match now
    • 71' Mat Stevens is penalised at the breakdown as indiscipline once again costs the visitors
    • 69' Skrela's kick is never anywhere near going between the posts and Bath remain just the one point behind
    • 69' Stevenson is penalised for holding on under Donguy's tackle after collecting the high ball and Skrela has the chance to take Toulouse out of penalty range by going for the posts again
    • 64' Butch James's risky decision to go for the posts from the right wing pays off as he thumps a brilliant kick right through the middle of the goal
    • 63' Bath break again through Maddock before Toulouse's last-ditch defence sees them give away a penalty
    • 61' That's a great kick by Skrela who comfortably has the distance as he thumps the ball between the posts to pull Toulouse a further three points clear
    • 60' Bath are penalised for hands in the ruck just inside the half way line and with the wind behind them, Toulouse will likely go for the posts
    • 57' It is Claasens turn now to attempt the drop goal but again it is a poor shot and goes nowhere near the posts
    • 54' Toulouse break but Donguy are made to wait just too long for the pass he is screaming for and the move breaks down
    • 53' Toulouse press forward again as Skrela puts up a poor drop goal attempt
    • 48' Thats a shocking conversion attempt by James which leaves Bath still trailing by one point
    • 48' TRY BATH! James gets revenge in the best possible way charging down Kalleher's poor clearance kick allowing Claasens to collect and fall over the line
    • 47' Jauzion escapes and doesn't even concede the penalty. In fact James is penalised for a knock-on! That is a poor decision by the referee. Jauzion's eye was definately on the ball but his trailing arm was nowhere near the ball and he just clattered James
    • 46' Bath on the charge now and Butch James is absolutely battered in the air by Jauzion just before the line. Surely that'll be a penalty try
    • 44' Skrela extends Toulouse's lead just sneaking his penalty inside the left post
    • 43' A great start from Toulouse who push for the line with relentless pressure, eventually earning themselves a penalty just in front of the line
    • 41' We are back underway in France with Toulouse kicking off
    • HT The referee calls time on the first half with Toulouse holding a narrow 6-3 lead but neither side have managed to sustain any kind of dominance and this match is still very much in the balance
    • 39' Donguy is penalised for failing to roll away and also reacting to being forcable moved out the way by Bath ... but James pulls his kick left of the posts
    • 38' Toulouse take the lead as Skrela puts away a very easy penalty kick as Bath continue to give away sloppy penalties
    • 32' Skrela finds Jauzion who almost offloads to Medard on the break but the pass is a litte high and Banahan, committed to the tackle, absolutely levels him much to the crowd's disapproval
    • 29' Abedanon looks very dangerous today as Burne delays his pass to allow the full-back time to break but Donguy intercepts after the re-cycle and, although he is penalised for a knock-on, Toulouse have possession back
    • 26' Skrela chips forward for Kunavore to chase as Toulouse push towards the try-line ... but the ball dribbles over the try-line and into touch and Bath will have the chance to clear five metres out
    • 21' Skrela's clearance is charged down by Lipman and Bath nearly break again but they fail to see Banahan charging up the left wing in acres of space and again they lose the ball
    • 20' Abendanon tries to break but Kunavore just holds on to the Bath full-back's jersey pulling him down and Toulouse escape after securing the penalty for holding on
    • 17' Much better from Skrela are he lands his second attempt at a penalty when Bath are penalised for failing to stay on their feet. There is a bit of a niggle between Claasens and Kelleher when the former refuses to give up the ball for a quick Toulouse penalty and both men get a talking to
    • 15' Toulouse have a great chance to get themselves off the mark when Bath are penalised right in front of the posts. But a nervy Skrela bounces the ball off the right post and that is a shocking miss
    • 12' Butch James settles Bath's nerves with a solid first penalty kick the spins in between the posts
    • 2' A very twitchy start from Toulouse as Skrela's kick bounces off Stuart Hopper, but the hosts get lucky as the ball dribbles out
