Noves apologises for post-match police clash

Guy Noves yesterday guided Toulouse to a record third European Cup victory - then apologised after getting led away by police during his side’s celebrations.

Noves’ side narrowly beat their French rivals Stade Francais in a disappointing Heineken Cup final at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, with Frederic Michalak kicking two penalties and a drop-goal to secure an 18-12 victory over their French rivals.
