Powerful Perpignan clinch last four spot

TOULON boss Philippe Saint-André was left to rue his side’s inability to capitalise on a numerical advantage in Saturday’s 29-25 Heineken Cup quarter-final loss to Perpignan.

Twice Perpignan were reduced to 14 men in the first-half as locks Guillaume Vilaceca and Robins Tchale-Watchou were handed yellow cards.

But Toulon were unable to make the extra man count and ran out of steam in the last quarter as Perpignan came from behind to book their spot in the semi-finals against Northampton.
