Mathieu Bastareaud puts in a monstrous hit on Saracens full-back Alex Lozowski

Mathieu Bastareaud put in a massive tackle on Alex Lozowski when Saracens and Toulon clashed in the Champions Cup.

Chris Ashton's try propelled Saracens to a 10-3 victory over two-time champions Toulon in a result that sees both teams qualify for the quarter-final stage of Europe's elite competition.

Ashton broke the deadlock by crossing in the 60th minute to secure the reigning champions a home quarter-final, while Leigh Halfpenny's penalty posted the crucial bonus point that ensures the French heavyweights also progress.

Despite the low score, it was an entertaining encounter in north London on Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of big hits, but the pick of them was this crunching effort from the French centre on Lozowski.
