Anthony Belleau brilliance beats Bath, spares Chris Ashton's blushes

Chris Ashton had his blushes saved by a moment of individual brilliance from Toulon's new France international Anthony Belleau after his howler almost gifted Bath a notable away win in the Champions Cup.

Match Commentary

81'+2		24-20 End of second half
80'		Joseph is screaming for the ball but the backs do not get it, and eventually Toulon secure the penalty. That was a brilliant game of rugby, Bath came so close to becoming only the second team to win at the Stade Felix Mayol in the Champions Cup. They should be happy with the losing bonus point, though.
80'		Bath are building gradually towards the Toulon line. Can they keep control of the ball?
