Bath overcome Toulouse 35-18 in European Rugby Champions Cup

  • Intro:

    Bath picked up a four-try bonus point 35-18 win at four-time European champions Toulouse on Sunday.

    Script:

    Bath needed a win against Toulouse to keep their European Rugby Champions Cup quarter finals hopes alive.

    A tough ask, away from home against a four-time champion, but George Ford kicked them into a second minute lead.

    Then, five minutes later it got even better for the visitors when winger Matt Banahan crossed over.

    Toulouse opened their account on the 12th minute, but it was quickly cancelled out.

    A wonderful read by scrum half Chris Cook on his opposite number saw him race away for an intercept try in the 24th minute.

    Bath's backline continued to fire, just three minutes later a break from Kyle Eastmond opened up the Toulouse defence again.

    The French side got a much-needed try in the 36th minute.

    Yoann Huget managing to find himself some space on the blindside.

    Two penalties for the home side closed the gap to 25-18.

    But the try of the game came in the 71st minute - a piece of individual magic from Jonathan Joseph set it up.

    His kick and chase saw him racing for the line.

    He had the support and it was Francois Louw who dived over to seal a 32-18 win.

    Bath now face Glasgow at home in the final round of pool matches next weekend, while Toulouse travel to winless Montpellier.
