A stirring Scarlets comeback from 18-0 down proved in vain as Toulon eked out victory in their opening match in Champions Cup Pool 5.
- Toulon got off to a flyer, going 15-0 up after after a quarter of an hour, Eric Escande intercepting an Aled Davies pass to run in, then Guilhelm Guirado adding another after a Anthony Belleau penalty.
- It was then 18-0 after another Belleau penalty but a Leigh Halfpenny penalty gave the Welsh side a glimmer of hope by half time.
- Scarlets were back within a point after Johnny McNicholl crossed and then Halfpenny – back at his old club – scored after some slick interplay, then converted to bring it back to 18-17.
- Halfpenny completed the comeback with a further penalty, but Francois Trinh-Duc did likewise to restore the hosts' slender one-point lead. They held on to it, surviving by virtue of a missed Halfpenny penalty late on.
