Toulon Win Munster Thriller as Quins Progress in Champions Cup
Toulon exploited key yellow card moments to edge Munster 27-25 in a Champions Cup thriller marked by disallowed tries and momentum shifts.
- On 11/01/2026, RC Toulon edged Munster 27-25 in round three of the Investec Champions Cup in France, with Ben White, Toulon scrum-half, scoring their second of three tries.
- After a heavy opening defeat, Munster faced pressure to recover following a 40-14 loss to Bath on matchday one under Clayton McMillan.
- A string of tries and accurate kicks swung the scoreboard as Tadhg Beirne was sin-binned, with Domon, Dréan, Nash, Farrell, O'Donoghue, and Crowley all scoring or kicking.
- The Pool remains undecided and will be settled next week when Munster host Castres and Toulon travel to Gloucester, while Harlequins secured progression with a 61-10 win over Cape Town Stormers.
- Looking ahead, Kearney said, `'I would have experienced this a few times throughout my career where the difference between performances over two weeks is so stark.'` The European season restarts after Christmas, with qualification spots still open for Munster, Bath, and Edinburgh.
