Ulster ‘destroyed’ at breakdown

Ulster 13 Toulon 23

Despite Toulon holding just a 6-3 lead going into first-half injury time, it was men against boys with the visitors not having really gone through all the gears in their turbo-charged set-up.

The French lost influential Puma flanker Juan Fernandez Lobbe after only two minutes but were still able to send on Springbok behemoth Juan Smith as a replacement while Ulster had Cork-born back-row novice Clive Ross on the bench!
