Stormers fall 28–27 to Toulon in Champions Cup round of 16


The Stormers have been undone by a persistent Toulon outfit at the Stade Felix Mayol in the South of France, losing 28-27 in the round of 16 of the European Champions Cup.

Toulon made better use of their opportunities to outscore the Stormers by 4 tries to 3 and advance to the last eight in Europe’s premier club rugby knockout competition.

The match ended in heartbreak for the Stormers; Marcel Theunissen’s lunge for the tryline in the final play of the match was deemed to be inconclusive, and the Stormers lost by 28 points to 27.
