    Munster 29-31 Castres

    Celebrations for Castres and desolation for Munster, who are now out of this season's Champions Cup.

    Toulouse 63-7 Sale

    Another length of the field score - offloads everywhere you look - but no there was a forward pass early in the move so it's chalked off.

    Matthis Lebel has been involved in setting-up lots of Toulouse tries and thinks he gets his second after being fed by Antoine Dupont.

    But it is not going to count.

    Christian Ambadiang (con Enzo Herve)

    A huge moment in the game as Christian Ambadiang shrugs off a tackle before running down the line for a bonus-point try.

    Another excellent Enzo Herve conversion leaves nine points between the sides with time running out for Munster.

    Paul Graou (con: Thomas Ramos)

    There's another and these are tough times for this inexperienced Sale side.

    Matthis Lebel kicks in field where three players could score and it's the sub Paul Graou who seizes the opportunity.

    Ramos still in no mood to miss from the tee.

    8/8.

    Thomas Ramos (con: Ramos)

    He doesn't just kick you know!

    The pace with which Toulouse are playing is just too much for Sale.

    Antoine Dupont is always moving, always plotting, and his quick-thinking again opens the space up for Thomas Ramos to score Toulouse's seventh.

    And of course Ramos adds the conversion.

    19 points in the game for him.

    Edwin Edogbo

    Castres win the lineout ball but then proceed to make a mess of things and they're punished as Edwin Edogbo pounces to charge over.

    The bonus point is secured but it's another conversion attempt missed by Jack Crowley.

    Matthis Lebel (con: Thomas Ramos)

    That's a bit loose from Sale and they are duly punished.

    Sharks full-back Ollie Davies is making his Champions Cup debut tonight and as he goes to ground in the tackle he attempts an offload but only finds Toulouse wing Matthis Lebel who shows his pace to race to the line.

    Thomas Ramos has converted all six Toulouse tries.

    Toulouse 35-7 Sale

    Antoine Dupont is still finding his way back from serious injury to a certain extent but he's shown flashes of his best here.

    He's off again with another line break before kicking in behind but Sale's Obi Ene does excellently to deal with the ball and clear.

    Dimitri Delibes (con: Thomas Ramos)

    This one however will count!

    Quick thinking as ever from Antoine Dupont who taps the penalty and flings a pass wide to Thomas Ramos who follows suit to find winger Dimitri Delibes to finish.

    Two passes across almost the width of the pitch and Sale don't have enough cover.

    Munster 17-17 Castres

    Santiago Arata goes over for Castres and the visitors think they've regained the lead but a quick check reveals a forward pass earlier in the move.

    Big let-off for Munster.

    Toulouse 28-7 Sale

    Toulouse are straight back up the other end and think they have a try.

    It's all a bit messy and in the end the officials say Antoine Dupont knocked on before he dotted it down at the second attempt.

    That was a very close call.

    Tom Curtis (con: Curtis)

    A try for Sale!

    Sale get on the board as skipper Marius Louw attacks the line and pops it back for Tom Curtis who dives over under pressure from two tacklers.

    Impressive from the 13 men!

    Sale survive the catch and drive from the line-out and kick it clear.

    Toulouse wing Dimitri Delibes covers back and gets an accidental knee in the back of the head from Sale's Obe Ene.

    Ref Andrew Brace gives Sale the penalty for Delibes holding on and the Sharks can attack.

    Thaakir Abrahams

    Just what Munster needed at the start of the second as Thaakir Abrahams runs in at the corner.

    Jack Crowley fails to land the conversion which would have pushed Munster into the lead.
