Toulouse overcome lengthy injury list to secure bonus point against disjointed Montpellier.

Curate's egg of a game.
Some sublime play by Toulouse last night, having played twenty of the first twenty five minutes with fourteen men. Teddy Thomas copped yellow for a 'deliberate' knock-on i.e. only one hand in the attempted interception (can someone confirm that is still the law? You never know with World Rugby), and then shortly after his return, it was the turn of Roumat to go to the bin.
It made for a stuttering start, in which Montpellier had huge amounts of possession and territory, and only an Adam Hastings penalty to show for it.
Toulouse were still playing a man down when Theo Ntamack opened their account from the base of this scrum.
