0:19:15 > 0:19:20- They have claimed a losing - bonus point five times...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- ..in the last six matches.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Escande is back on kicking duties.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Delon Armitage and Matt Giteau - have also had a go at kicking.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Escande reminds you of Morgan Parra.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- He's just as accurate - as his opponent tonight.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- James O'Connor is the third Aussie - after Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- He wasn't in the World Cup squad.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- Only 25 minutes to go as Toulon - look dangerous once again.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- They conceal the ball - and get the rolling maul moving.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Samu Manoa leads the charge.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Also there is Xavier Chiocci, - wearing the no.17 shirt.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- No.23 is the English prop, - Matt Stevens.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- It's on its way with the - ever-present Manuka Gorgodze.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Mathieu Raynal has his arm out, - waiting for an advantage to Toulon.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Stevens goes again - and then sets it up.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- There must have been - an infringement.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I do believe that a yellow card - is going to be shown.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- I think the perpetrator at the ruck - was Julien Bardy, and here he is.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45- Clermont will be down to fourteen - men for the next ten minutes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- This is a real chance.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Toulon complete the first element - of the move nicely.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- The rolling maul is formed - once again.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Romain Taofifenua is the player - wearing a headband.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- This time, the train - has arrived at the station.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Never mind about that, Mathieu - Raynal has gone under the posts.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- The bonus point is secured for now.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- The penalty was for pulling down - the maul.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- That is not allowed.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Toulon took full advantage.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- 28-9 is quite a score.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- I'd imagine that it's the biggest - score against Clermont...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- ..for about a decade.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- We must remember...
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- ..that there has been 77 successive - home victories up to now.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- The hooter has been sounded.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- This is a chance.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Only in France can you gain a bonus - point and then lose it in a game.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Toulon's tackling is still solid - and fierce.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Armitage is in there wearing no.20.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Out it comes to Drew Mitchell!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- The victory is surely - going to be wrapped up here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Drew Mitchell cuts inside, - not once, but twice.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- He's over the line.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- It's Toulon's biggest ever win - over Clermont.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Toulouse missed the chance to go top - after losing to Racing.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- The side from Paris climb - into second spot as a result.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Stade Francais can climb the table - if they beat Grenoble today.
