First points of the day go the way of the visitors.

Toulon pinged for a tackle off the ball and Crowley makes no mistake from 25 metres dead in front of the posts.

Munster making a catalogue of errors in the last few minutes, all close to their own 22.

Thankfully, for them, Toulon are making mistakes of their own and with 15 gone no-one has troubled the scoreboard as yet.

Champagne stuff from Quins, who don't look like a side short of belief! Marcus Smith starts it with a kick with the outside of his foot out wide and two first-time passes inside threaten to slice Stormers open but Chandler Cunningham-South loses it in a tackle. Applaud the ambition!

A strong first 10 minutes for Harlequins, who have been sharp on the ball and firm in the tackle.

Still scoreless in the south of France after six minutes, but Munster have been lively. They have had the best of the possession and territory with Calvin Nash slashing through the home defence in an attack that eventually broke down.

However, without points on the board possession means nothing.

Great play from lock Guido Petti sees Harlequins nick the ball from a ruck and they drive the Stormers back deep into their 22. Real chance here if Quins use the ball smartly...

Let us know your thoughts on today's rugby.

It might just be me but the combination of Quins' quarters and the Stormers' stripes isn't the easiest on the eyes. The visitors' pack shows its force with a strong maul from a lineout but Harlequins do well to win the ball back.

The weather is actually fine, no wind or rain but I am sure it's still a cold one especially for the men from the Cape. Quins get an early penalty which Marcus Smith pumps into the corner.

We are under way in Toulon with the hosts kicking off in bright sunshine.

Away we go! The weather doesn't look too bad, considering.

There is just time to grab a hot drink and settle in for the start of the afternoon's play. Can Quins stop the rot?

Ireland international quartet Tadhg Beirne, Craig Casey, Jack Crowley and Tom Farrell all return to the Munster team for this afternoon's trip to France to play Toulon.

Skipper Beirne is one of 10 changes made by coach Clayton McMillan.

Munster have lost four of their past six games. Included in that run is a heavy loss to Bath and comfortable win over Gloucester that sees the southern province sit fourth in Pool 2 with a pair of games remaining.

Toulon have an equal record to Munster in this year's competition and will be hoping to elevate their position this afternoon. They have plenty of power on show with captain Charles Ollivon in the back row and Kyle Sinckler shoring up the scrum.

An intriguing tie lies in wait.

Toulon: Marius Domon; Gael Drean, Nacho Brex, Jeremy Sinzelle, Mathis Ferte; Tomas Albornoz, Ben White; Jean-Baptiste Gros, Teddy Baubigny, Kyle Sinckler; Charles Ollivon (capt), David Ribbans; Lewis Ludlam, Esteban Abadie, Zach Mercer

Replacements: Jeremy Toevalu, Leo Ametlla, Dany Priso, Brian Alainu'uese, Corentin Mezou, Jules Coulon, Paolo Garbisi, Setariki Tuicuvu

"Performances and results in the men's team are not at the level we expect and are not considered acceptable by anyone within the club," said a Harlequins statement,, external signed off by chief executive officer Laurie Dalrymple and chairman David Morgan.

"Everyone is working tirelessly and urgently to address this, and to deliver the necessary on-pitch improvements."

Let's see how that has gone down in the team.

We start our day's coverage in London though as Harlequins welcome South African opposition.

The Stormers have won both games so far while Quins have a defeat in Dublin to their name. They can't really afford a slip up on home turf.

Quins were smashed 66-21 by the Saints last week and the club are not happy...

Last May Bordeaux overpowered a stubborn Northampton Saints side in Cardiff to win the Champions Cup in a bruising battle of a final.

This afternoon the sides lock horns again with a top-two spot in Pool 4 and home advantage in the last 16 very much on the agenda.

There is little to no love lost between the sides. It promises to be epic...
