Toulon ease past Leicester Tigers

Toulon have increased their lead in their European Rugby Champions Cup group with a comfortable 23-8 win over Leicester Tigers this afternoon.

Both sides scored one try in the opening 40 minutes, with Blaine Scully cancelling out an early run from Ali Williams.

However, the home side went into the break nine points ahead as Leigh Halfpenny kicked three penalties in a 10-minute spell.

Mathieu Bastaraud ensured that the French side pulled away further after the break, running the ball over in between the posts.

Leicester's only points of the second half came from an Owen Williams penalty, leaving the visitors second in Pool Three.
