Tries from Maxime Medard, Maleli Kunavore, Vincent Clerc and Jean Bouilhou and 18 points from the boot of man-of-the-match Jean-Baptise Elissalde was too much for Cardiff Blues who responded through Jason Spice and Ben Blair.

Toulouse will now face London Irish at Twickenham later this month and while Young felt the scoreline was rough justice, he has tipped the French giants to fight for the European title once more.
