Toulouse score three tries, overcome Oyonnax in European Champions Cup

Toulouse overcame fellow French team Oyonnax 24-18 to get their first win in this season's European Champions Cup this afternoon.

Regis Lespinas kicked two early penalties for Oyonnax, but Luke McAlister replied with one of his own to keep the home side within range at half time.

The wind and rain then increased and forced the game into a forward's match, but Timoci Matanavou crossed after the break to give Toulouse a try.

Maxime Medard got Toulouse's second on the hour mark, before Oyonnax got one for themselves after Vincent Martin crossed with 10 minutes left to play.

Centre Gael Fickou scored a third for his side, but Fabien Cibray went over just one minute later to give Oyonnax a slim chance of victory.

Nicky Robinson converted to keep his side within six points, but the visitors could not get through the black and red defence again and Toulouse came away with the win.
