17:48 – Toulouse beats Harlequins (38-26) and reaches the Champions Cup final
Worn by Anthony Dupont, author of a double, Toulouse had done the hard part at the break. The first period was balanced until the half-hour mark. Lebel struck first thanks to a volley from Flament (5-0, 5th). Smith responded and completed a lot of work from his forwards (5-7, 15th). Toulouse regained the advantage through Mauvaka, after a maul (12-7, 17th). With the same combination, Evans took revenge (12-12, 25th). On the return, Flament helped himself into the arms of Cunningham-South (17-12, 28th). And Antoine Dupont pulled off the finale of this first period: in support of two actions, the scrum half scored two tries in pure forward style (33rd and 37th, 31-12).
After returning from the locker room, Harlequins restarted the game. Thanks to a double jump from Smith, Murley, despite the return of Kinghorn, dove in the corner (31-19, 47th). On a new recovery ball, Smith and Murley sowed discord. Thanks to a sharp run and a pass near Care, Green scored under the posts (31-26, 53rd). Outnumbered following the yellow card received by Walker, the Quins ended up giving up on an animation in the center of the field. With two passes behind the back from Ntamack and Ahki, Mallia, at the end of the wing, was shifted by Kinghorn (38-26, 70th). On May 25, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, for its 8th Champions Cup final, Toulouse will face Leinster.
