Twelve months on and Toulouse made it two in that elite “double” club, ultimately beating French rivals Perpignan after seeing a 19-points half-time lead being whittled away as the Catalans staged a dramatic comeback in a match in which the strong wind and showers played a major role.
There was a try apiece – speed merchant Vincent Clerc collecting his seventh of the tournament for Toulouse early on and Pascal Bomati setting up a grandstand finish with Perpignan’s with time ticking away – with the boot of Yann Delaigue the deciding factor as the Toulouse fly half contributed 17 points.
