The whistle goes and TOULON ARE THE 2013 HEINEKEN CUP CHAMPIONS!
81'
The clock ticks over to 80 minutes with Clermont still in possession - Sivivatu on the right wing ... he tries to find Fofana on the outside but the pass is rushed and the ball flies into touch.
80'
Less than a minute reminaing! Nalaga pushes through the line before being hauled down. Chouly receives the ball on the right wing but he has no momentum whatsoever!
78'
Skrela goes for the drop goal but his kick is charged down by Wilkinson and Bastareaud, Toulon escape but Clermont dive on the ball to regain possession. Two minutes remaining!
75'
Clermont get so close but they knock on and it will be a scrum. Clermont infringe at the scrum and Wilkinson clears the danger. Five minutes remaining!

David Skrela is on now - Clermont are clearly looking for the late drop goal to seal this.
73'
Clermont look to break again and are only 10 metres out when Lee Byrne's pass goes to ground. Toulon can clear.

Steffon Armitage on as the clock ticks past the 70 minute mark. Just under 10 minutes remaining and Clermont trailing by just the one point.
70'
Play has settled back into the middle of the park, in an imitation of much of the first half. With tiring legs and gaps already opening up in this half though they are sure to be more opportunities in the final 10 minutes.

Conversion! Wilkinson has little problem in converting the try and Toulon have come back from a nine point deficit to lead by one, 14 minutes remaining on the clock.

Try! It was only a matter of time, with all the pressure they were creating, and sure enough Toulon are right back in this match. Lobbe steals the ball before finding Armitage, who will win himself no fans with a wave at the chasing Brock James as he runs over the line free of a tackler.
63'
Toulon are all over Clermont now with a sustained period of pressure. Not content with setting up both of his side's tries Rougerie is also keeping them in the lead as he hauls down Mat Giteau

Gethin Jenkins comes on for Sheridan as Toulon continue their bid to bring on fresh legs.

Penalty! Another successful kick from the metronomic Wilkinson. Toulon now are just six points adrift with 20 minutes remaining - one try would change it all.
58'
Toulon turn the ball over and Michalak chips upfield. Clermont are penalised trying to defend their line, failing to release, and Wilkinson will have a chance to kick Toulon back within one try range of their opponents.
56'
Clermont, looking very relaxed now, come at Toulon again. They are keeping Toulon pinned back in their own half and allowing them very little possession.

Freddie Michalak, Jean-Charles Orioli and Joe van Niekerk are all brought on for Toulon as they look to shore up their defence.

Conversion! Parra is not going to miss from right in front of the posts and this time Clermont do maximise their score. They lead by nine points.

Try! Rougerie is really putting in a captain's performance in this second half as he collects a chip from James, sees off Wilkinson, and hands back off to James, who races away to dive over the line and grab Clermont's second try just to the left of the posts.
