Harlequins-Toulouse

79'’ Quins again fail to gather high ball and Fritz canters down right wing, and only desperate defence keeps Toulouse out. Ref blows for Toulouse holding on and Clegg finds touch on Quins 22. Last chance.

Harlequins-Toulouse

78'’ Lowe caught in possession and ref blows - rightly so - for Toulouse penalty. Chance for Fritz to pretty much put game beyond Quins. It's just inisde his own half but he strikes it superbly and Tolouse lead 23-19.

Harlequins-Toulouse

77'’ Toulouse win lineout and kick downfield, Strettle gathers and again finds decent touch back in French half. This could be Quins last chance and they must pressure Toulouse throw as Clegg and Lowe come on. Clegg at fly-half, with Evans replacing Brown at the back, and Lowe on the wing,

76'’ Quins running out of time as Strettle finds a good touch in Toulouse half.

Harlequins-Toulouse

72'’ Mistake from Monye as he takes eye off ball and concedes scrum in Quins 22. Big chance for Toulouse to close game out.

Harlequins-Toulouse

67'’ Care nudges ball into touch in Toulouse corner. Quins need to try and pinch Toulouse throw, which they do! Excellent work from Quins lineout, but Quins blow three guilt-edged scoring chances. Brown fails to feed Monye, Guest fails to pass after Tiesi charge down, and then Care kicks to corner for no reason. Quins fluffing their lines here!

Harlequins-Toulouse

66'’ Argy bargy between Brown and Clerc and Quins win penalty, which Evans kicks for touch in Toulouse half. Easter wins throw and makes half break through the middle of Toulouse lineout.

Harlequins-Toulouse

Harlequins-Toulouse

53'’ Toulouse have chosen to kick much more this half and already it's proving a fruitful policy. Elissalde putting pressure on Brown and giving his chasers a target. Quins have failed to deal with three high balls this half and twice have conceded tries.

Harlequins-Toulouse

49'’ Toulouse win lineout near Quins line, the Quins defence deteriorates and Sowerby goes over for Toulouse's second try in five minutes. Quins have got to refind their composure. Elissalde makes it 14-14 with conversion.

44'’ Quins have hardly had ball in second half but are holding their defensive shape well. Easter forces turnover and Monye kicks long downfield. Sowerby pass to Medard is majorly forward but ref is only on at Stoop to miss it.

Harlequins-Toulouse

41'’ Second half underway and Toulouse start with a decent attack. Ball is recycled to Elissalde but the France international misses drop at goal.

Harlequins-Toulouse

40'’ Toulouse finishing the half strongly but they are again sloppy in possession and Quins able to nick the ball and kick downfield as ref blows for half time. 14-0 Quins and all to play for in the second half. They will know Toulouse have the ability to bounce back and will need to be at their very best to defend their lead. So far so good for the Londoners.

Harlequins-Toulouse

36'’ Lovely kick ahead by Care after taking quick tap penalty. The scrum-half beats Kelleher to the ball but loses his balance and unable to touch ball down. Great effort from the England international!

Harlequins-Toulouse

33'’ Monye reads Elissalde chip and sets up counter through Care, Brown and Strettle. Toulouse infringe and Evans has chance to extend lead. Another kick from out wide and one Evans has to make. Lovely kick from the Kiwi and Quins lead 14-0 - very much deserved.

Harlequins-Toulouse

26'’ Lovely high ball from Evans and again Medard makes a mess of it. The Toulouse full-back has plenty of flair but looks weak under the high ball - something France's Six Nations opponents will note! Scrum Quins just outside French 22.

Harlequins-Toulouse

23'’ Brown's turn to go down now. Looks like the Quins full-back has hurt his ankle.

Harlequins-Toulouse

23'’ Toulouse offside - sloppy not to retreat from bad box kick - and Quins have another chance on goal. Evans from wide out again and he draws it round superbly to give Quins 6-0 lead. Evans's kicking has not been that good this season but he looks to have his radar tuned in this evening.

Harlequins-Toulouse

14'’ Easter picks up from scrum, Quins spread ball wide and Brown nearly creates overlap for Strettle. Quins continue attack but Albacete pinches loose ball and earns French scrum.

Harlequins-Toulouse

13'’ Quins pressure telling on Toulouse as first Clerc and then Elissalde make errors. Quins attacking scrum in French 22.

Harlequins-Toulouse

3'’ Poux is off and Human on. Short day's work for the Toulouse prop!

2'’ Good start by Quins who nearly put Monye through lineout gap. Evans also tries to make a burst before ref blows for Toulouse player down.

Harlequins-Toulouse

1'’ Brilliant scrum from Toulouse and they disrupt Quins ball and clear danger to touch.

Harlequins-Toulouse

1'’ Medard makes a mess of Evans's kick off for Quins and the home side have an attacking scrum in Toulouse 22.

Harlequins-Toulouse

  It's a fine evening in South West London and all set for a great game.

Harlequins-Toulouse

  Toulouse, the only club to win the Heineken three times (the last back in 2005), enjoyed a decent 36-17 victory over Sale in their openener last week, while an under-strength Quins went down 20-6 at Cardiff Blues. Quins have got their hands full this afternoon, of that there is no doubt! Much will depend on how the two Nicks go - Easter at number eight and Evans at fly-half.

Harlequins-Toulouse

  Toulouse have internationals across the park and have gone with Elissalde and Kelleher at nine and 10, with Dusautoir captaining the side from flanker. The back row battle today should be something special.

Harlequins-Toulouse

  And they will need to be at their very best against star-studded Toulouse, who have class from one to 15. But Quins are at near full strength and after last year's European heroics against Stade Francais who knows what is possible?

Harlequins-Toulouse

  Quins have recalled England trio Danny Care, Nick Easter and Ugo Monye for this must-win clash after resting them in the defeat at Cardiff last weekend - they had to according to deal with England management.

Harlequins-Toulouse

  Next up this afternoon, and possibly the best, Harlequins v Toulouse from The Stoop.

CA Brive-Leinster

80'’ Sexton adds conversion and ref blows for full-time. 36-13 to Leinster. By no means a classic and Leinster will have wanted a bonus point, but the champions have at least bounced back from their opening defeat to London Irish, who lost to Scarlets today to throw Pool 6 wide open.

Montepaschi Viadana-Leicester Tigers

21'’ Viadana have cut Tigers lead with a penalty from Hola. 8-3 to Leicester.

Munster-Benetton Treviso

19'’ Munster forwards hold on to ball and produce excellent drive that forces Italians back 40m into their 22. Pay back from the Irish forwards and pressure earns them a penalty.

Munster-Benetton Treviso

17'’ Horan is off and Brugnaut is on. Maybe Horan struggling with injury and hence the Treviso dominance in front row.

Munster-Benetton Treviso

15'’ Treviso really targetting the Munster scrum and forcing them all sort of problems. Italian have scrum in Irish 22 and after pushing Irish pack backwards they feed Williams on the left and the wing dives over after a step and show. Thomond silenced as Treviso lead 5-0.

Biarritz Olympique-Gloucester

14'’ Yachvili on target again to regain lead. French 6-3 ahead.

Munster-Benetton Treviso

5'’ Excellent counter rucking from O'Connell and co and Munster force turnover. But Munster front row gets real dicking in ensuing scrum and Italians force reverse put in. Munster set piece looking questionable again!
