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.
