Was it nearly three or four minutes. Ridiculous. Can see it getting to the stage where no ref ever has the balls to award a try without reviewing it for something....just in case!

Looked pretty much identical to the Racing non-awarded try. I would have given both of them, myself.

Great business dumping them: they were both done from what I saw of them last season.

Hilarious Saints style scrum from Toulon after Castro came on. He was up for a bit of niggle wasn't he?

Ah, well Poites was pretty clearly indicating to both teams that cards were coming out (you know what with the pointing to his pocket and calling over the captains and all) and Castro was busy at the time taunting the opposition. Red apiece it was.

Pretty poor performance from Racing. Didn't look like they knew what they were about. Toulon looked fantastic in spots. Passes stuck, offloaded beautifully, fouled expertly (I mean that as a compliment to how well drilled they were). Racing didn't seem to want to use Sexton the way we saw him in Leinster. Rarely got the ball flat. The intercept when the 9 passed it was high and wide and deep and useless, he shovelled it on and a silly risky pass ensued as nothing much was going to happen.

You got to figure they will sort it out over the season though.

Maybe, or perhaps he will realise that most Top 14 is negative rubbish and seek an early release from his contract so he can come home to Leinster where we might let him play inside centre to King Mad Dog...................a man can dream can't he?
