Keith Moore moderator 5pts THAT'S ALL, FOLKS!There are only five unbeaten teams left in the Heineken Champions Cup; Newcastle, Racing 92, Munster, Saracens, and today's victor's Toulouse. Who will be left standing at the end of the season? That's it for today, but we'll see you in December for more European action!
Keith Moore moderator 5pts TOULOUSE 28-27 LEINSTER (FT)Both teams had opportunities to win that game, and it came down to an intercept try to hand Toulouse the victory. Are we seeing the awakening of a former European giant?
