O’Shea: It feels like we’ve won the cup

HARLEQUINS stunned four-time champions Toulouse 31-24 yesterday to reignite their European Cup quarter-final hopes a week after the French giants had seemingly delivered a fatal blow on the English side.

Ahead 15-10 at the break, courtesy of Mike Brown and Joe Gray grabbing tries to Yoann Maestri’s lone reply, Toulouse briefly took a 19-15 lead in the second period.

But full-back Brown added his second try against the run of play for a 20-19 advantage which soon became 25-19 thanks to the nerveless conversion and penalty kicking of former All Black, Nick Evans, who ended with 16 points.
