After the disappointment of exiting the quarter final of the European cup last week and to keep their Top 14 playoff hopes alive Montpellier needed a win this weekend. More difficult this would be with a game against current champions Toulouse.Montpellier rose to the occassion.
Winger Timoci Nagusa scored a brilliant individual try for Montpellier after 48 minutes. The Fijian shrugged off two tackles before sprinting 40 metres to score his seventh try of the season. This try put the home side in control and despite a late fightback from Toulouse, it was not enough to overhaul their opponents. Toulouse could have snatched a share of the points in the last minute after young centre Gael Fickou had scored his side's only try.
Lionel Beauxis didn't help with a poor outing in conversions missing 4 from 5 attempts. The result left Toulouse in third place, six points behind Clermont with two games of the regular season left. Montpellier, knocked out of Europe by Clermont, are in sixth spot, just one behind Castres and Racing Metro.
