  • Match Report Exeter Chiefs Men v Stade Toulousain

    A last-minute penalty sailed just wide of the posts to deny Chiefs a draw against the six-times European champions Toulouse. Instead, Chiefs had to be content with a try bonus-point when a victory had definitely been a possibility with the home side losing a player to red card early in the game. The lead changed hands seven times in a real Investec Champions Cup classic, but in the end, Toulouse hung on to take the win in front of a sold-out crowd.
