Toulon grab bonus point try with time up against Lyon

While the Heineken Cup is the biggest thing going on in the rugby world at the moment, the Amlin Challenge Cup chugs along with a few fascinating match-ups of it's own. In Toulon we saw a fantastic finish to a game which kept the hosts in a strong position.

Firstly, no, Rugbydump is not turning French. It just happens that right now we're getting a lot of timely contributions that come in that language. The majority of the time if the game is played there, it's usually a good idea to post the host language anyway. Other times, it's simply convenience and the fact that we'd rather post something than nothing at all.

To reiterate, if you feel like you can help out with contributions in the way of highlights or short clips of incidents, please do get in touch and become a part of what we consider to be the RD community of rugby fans worldwide.

This year we'll be rolling out new sections on the site to include more videos and news from a greater range of teams, so if you'd like to get involved by helping out with only the club or country you're passionate about, that's fine too, as fairly soon we'll have specific sections for each.

For now though, here's a short clip of Toulon's fantastic try at the end of their match against Lyon, where they actually scored two tries at the death to earn themselves a valuable bonus point.

Pierrick Gunther scored with a minute to play, Jonny Wikinson drop-kicked the conversion and then they launched their attack from deep, ending with a nice long pass from Wilkinson to Luke Rooney following some great passages of play.

The 29-10 effectively knocked Lyon out of the running but puts Toulon in the driving seat as they head towards qualification for the next round of play.

    Gotta admire the ambition of Toulon to go for the bonus point. Most teams would just kick it into touch to prevent the other side from getting the losing bonus point. Ospreys, take note

    The commentators also said that Wilkinson's drop kick conversion went too fast for the line refs so they had to check the video.
    Good speed by Alexis Palisson and great team effort to keep the ball in play after a few mistakes.

    Sad news indeed. Agree with you completely: off topic but certainly deserves to be mentioned.

    OFFTOPIC:

    Sad news about Selorm Kuadey (former England under 20's and Sale Sharks player) who committed suicide recently.

    I won't jump on the bandwagon as such due to the fact I don't tend to follow that much European club rugby or much club rugby at all for that matter, so I can't say I have heard of the guy, but still deserves a mention whether he was a top class player or even if he had been an amateur player.
