DUPONT PLAYS STARRING ROLE AS TOULOUSE SEAL SIXTH EUROPEAN CROWN
Toulouse won their sixth Champions Cup title in dramatic fashion as they needed extra time to overcome a dogged Leinster 31-22 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In a ding-dong affair, there were no tries in regulation time as both sides played out a 15-15 stalemate, before Matthis Lebel broke the deadlock at the start of extra-time to fuel a manic extra period, which saw two dismissals.
Leinster had James Lowe sent to the sin bin for a deliberate knock on, before Toulouse saw Richie Arnold shown a red card for violent conduct at the breakdown with a flailing left arm.
Josh van der Flier set up a grand-stand finish as he bundled over, but Thomas Ramos, a replacement here in favour of the Scot Blair Kinghorn, showed a cool head with three further penalties to take the French side to another European crown.

FULL TIME
There we have it, Toulouse are the champions once more! For a sixth time, the French side will lift the Champions Cup, and on the balance of the game, they deserve it. They've been brilliant at times. Thanks for joining us, be sure to come back very soon for even more LIVE rugby.

MISSED IT
Frawley goes for another drop-goal attempt for a quick three before the clock turns red, but the execution isn't there. Toulouse are beginning to celebrate...

LEINSTER 22-31 TOULOUSE (RAMOS)
He's done it again, nerves of steel, and that should clinch it!

PENALTY, TOULOUSE
Another one... an infringement - a bit of panic - from Healey, who goes in off his feet.

Just! It just fades back at the last and Toulouse are six clear.

PENALTY, TOULOUSE
Doris is off his feet at the ruck, and that's a clumsy mistake at this stage of the game. Ramos is going to want to run the clock down as much as possible.

TRY! LEINSTER 20-25 TOULOUSE (VAN DER FLIER)
They're within one more! Leinster camp on the Toulouse tryline as the forwards keep picking and going, and the flanker makes a desperate dive to ground it. The TMO has a look, and it's definitely down!

Dupont races into the breakdown, and Healey can't release. However, Arnold is under the microscope for his entry...what has that left arm struck?
