Last Updated: 17/01/16 10:59pm
Oyonnax secured the first win in the Champions Cup in the club's history with an impressive 32-14 victory over four-time European champions Toulouse.
Silvere Tian got the home side off to the perfect start with a try off the kick-off, before Uwa Tawalo added a second to make it 14-0 after 11 minutes.
Nicky Robinson added a penalty to give his side a 17-0 lead with ten minutes remaining in the first half.
Toulouse managed to claw back the deficit to 17-14 following a pair of tries either side of half-time through No 8 Gilian Galan, but Oyonnax hit back in the 49th minute with a try from Fabien Cibray before inside centre Eamonn Sheridan rounded things off for the bonus-point win.
The loss brings an official end to Toulouse's Champions Cup campaign as they find themselves bottom of Pool 1 with just one win from five.
Oyonnax are also out of contention for the knock-out phase of the competition, but will celebrate a famous win over their Top 14 rivals.
