Wilkinson misses costly as Toulon held by Clermont

Jonny Wilkinson hit the post with a penalty attempt with the final kick of the game as Top 14 leaders Toulon were held to a 26-26 draw at home by Munster’s Heineken Cup semi-final opponents, Clermont Auvergne.

In a thrilling clash between the top two in the French Top 14, Wilkinson could have snatched it at the death but his ambitious attempt from fully 10 yards inside his own half dropped against the lower part of the post.

Clermont got off to a flying start as wing Noa Nakaitaci went over after just seven minutes following a quickly-taken line-out.
