Blues stun Toulon

CARDIFF BLUES stunned French glamour boys Toulon to win the Amlin Challenge Cup and become the first Welsh side to lift a European title.

Toulon had edged 13-6 ahead with a try from Sonny Bill Williams and eight points from Jonny Wilkinson when the Blues mounted their second-half comeback.

But with Wilkinson hobbling off injured on 49 minutes, the Blues roared into life, Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny and Bradley Davies scoring the tries as the Blues silenced the vast majority of the record 49,996 crowd inside Marseille’s Stade Velodrome.
