    Gloucester v Toulon (20:00 GMT)

    Gloucester need to win to qualify for the last 16.

    Toulon know a win would secure a home last-16 spot.

    Easy enough to understand.

    FT: Toulouse 77-7 Sale

    Toulouse's try-fest gives them the highest score by a team in the pool stage of this year's competition, beating the 68 Harlequins scored against Bayonne in December.

    FT: Toulouse 77-7 Sale

    There were a few question marks around Toulouse before this game - which is a strange thing to say about such a quality team - but they did lose two of their pool games.

    It was an under strength Sale tonight but Toulouse have the quality that they can put any team to the sword when they are on song.

    Toulouse go second ahead of tomorrow's game between Glasgow and Saracens.

    No-one will want to face them in the round of 16 and beyond that's for sure.

    Toulouse 77-7 Sale

    Referee Andrew Brace puts an inexperienced Sale out of their misery.

    Toulouse looked like they would have happily played all night they were enjoying that so much, scoring tries for fun.

    Sale had already qualified and Toulouse join them in the round of 16 in style.

    Time for one more?

    Yes say Toulouse as Teddy Thomas sets up Matthis Lebel for try number 11.

    Thomas Ramos has converted all 11 tries - what a player.

    27 points from him alone.

    Try number 10 for Toulouse and it's Joshua Brennan.

    Son of former Ireland international Trevor Brennan who played for Toulouse and settled there after retiring - he runs a bar there now.

    Toulouse 63-7 Sale

    An acrobatic finish in the corner from Teddy Thomas but I think this will be checked as well.

    Disappointment for the France international winger.

    A high shot from the Sale lock and his evening is over.

    Sale have had three yellow cards tonight.
