Toulouse responded almost immediately as Emmanuel Meafou surged over from close range with Ramos’ conversion taking it to 19-7. With the clock now in the red, Toulouse finished the half in an appropriate fashion, Meafou scoring his second as the TMO overturned Adam Leal’s initial decision of no try.
