    Easily one of the best matches I've seen in years. Toulouse seemed to dominate the first 40, but Racing clambered back, and then it was some scintillating stuff from the Toulouse backs to put them back into contention, with a late try an outstanding Jauzion and an unbelievable 60+m kick from Luke McAllister to seal the win in the dying minutes. Unbelievable stuff.. Actually better than any WC match so far... Toulouse, never short of funds, have always been wise with their pickings, I know there was some controversy with Luke heading to France, but it looks like he and Toulouse will enjoy working together this year...

    And I also wonder if ML regrets leaving particular players behind.

    I was at the game and can safely say it was one of the most exciting matches I've ever been at. Atmosphere was class, the crowd were jumping and the game itself.... well, just look at the highlights!!

    The Toulousain know how to put on a show!:D

    Rugbydump says it was out in Sept Deniers, but that's definitely the Stadium Municipal...

    Your're right, Rugbydump is wrong, it was Stade Municipal. Would have been better off in Ernst Wallon as it would have been a packed house.

    Thought it strange when I saw this game against a Paris team was in Municipal and the Biarritz game this weekend is in Stade Ersnt Wallon. Surely the Biarritz support will travel in greater number seeing as how they are a two and a half hour drive away as opposed to a long train or flight from Paris?

    Have to agree with all of the above - brilliant game to watch.

    McAllister's kick was brilliant...but it did remind me of this!
