Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaae a Carl Hayman he nui te mahi a Toulon ki te whakarite i te taitara tuatoru o te Pakeha kaore ano kia kitea, ahakoa te tae atu ki te kapa Champions Cup. I whakaae te rangatira o Toulon, a Hayman, i tino ngoikore nga tangata a Bernard Laporte i runga i o raatau taumata mahi i te wikitoria 32-18 o te hauwhā whakamutunga i te Ratapu ki a Wasps. I whakawhetai te kapa Côte d'Azur ki te huakore o Frederic Michalak me te whakamatau whakamutunga a Ali Williams mo te wikitoria i takahia e te hapa me te kore tika. Ka tukinotia a Guy Thompson e Ali Williams i te whakataetae hauwhā whakamutunga o te European Rugby Champions Cup. Ka pōwhiri a Toulon i a Leinster ki te Stade Velodrome o Marseille i te Rātapu, Paenga-whāwhā 19 i roto i te whā whakamutunga, me Hayman e whakaae ana he nui nga whakapainga e hiahiatia ana hei whakaara i te Champions Cup tuatahi. 'Mēnā e hiahia ana mātou ki te haere ki Rānana mō te whiringa toa, he nui te mahi hei mahi mā mātou,' i kī a Hayman. 'Ki te pono tatou ki a tatou anō, kāore rawa i te tata ki te mea e tūmanakohia ana e tatou ki a Wasps, ā, me tere te whakapai ake. Ko Alex Lozowski e tuku ana i te pōro i te wā o te whakataetae whā hauwhā whakamutunga o te European Rugby Champions Cup. 'He mea nui kia puta, ā, ko te wikitoria te mea nui rawa, engari he nui rawa ngā hapa.' I wikitoria a Toulon i ngā karauna Pākehā, hei tohu i te mutunga o te wā o te Heineken Cup, ā, ko te kapa whetū o te peresideni a Mourad Boudjellal, he nui te utu, e whai ana ki te hanga i te hītori o te whenua i tēnei wā. Kaore he taha i wikitoria i nga taitara Pakeha e toru i runga i te taha, ahakoa ko Leicester me Munster i tuhia i mua he wikitoria hoki. Kei te whakanui a Williams i tētahi whakamātautau me tana hoa kapa o Toulon a Delon Armitage i te kapa Felix Mayol. I roto i ngā whakamātautau ā-rōpū, ā-kore hoki o te Rātapu, i te whakaekenga, i tino hiahia a Toulon i te mana pakeke, ā-tika hoki o tētahi Jonny Wilkinson. Ko te reti raumati o te toa o te Ipu o te Ao o Ingarangi ka waiho he koretake i Stade Mayol, ina koa ka ngaro a Matt Giteau na te wharanga. I hoki mai te pivot o mua o Ahitereiria i te paepae i te mutunga wiki, ka waiho a Michalak hei kaiarahi i te rarangi i etahi wa....
I eke a Toulon ki te whiringa toa o te Champions Cup me te wikitoria ki a Wasps. Engari, ko nga tangata a Bernard Laporte i whakaitihia e to ratou mahi. I whakawhetai atu te taha Wīwī ki a Frederic Michalak rāua ko Ali Williams i te mutunga. Ka pōwhiri a Toulon ki a Leinster i te Stade Velodrome o Marseille i te 19 o Aperira.
