SARACENS 10-3 TOULON
ASHTON SECURES SARACES HOMER QUARTER AND TOULON GO THROUGH
The defending European champions ensured their last-eight
tie will be in north London with a second-half try from wing Chris Ashton.
Fly-half Owen Farrell converted the try and kicked a
penalty.
Toulon's bonus point for a narrow defeat means they also
qualify for the knockout stage.

Toloun have shown themselves to be a powerhouse in getting
this bonus point but I would not want to bet against Saracens for the title as
they look like they can beat anyone
SALE 25-23 SCARLETS
MC GINTY KICKS SALE TO VICTORY
Sale appeared galvanised and some direct play led to Odogwu
going over in the corner in theatrical fashion, with Addison accelerating from
close to the halfway line and bursting through a gap to add a second try.
Van der Merwe helped to reduce the deficit when he crossed
in the corner and had the presence of mind to touch down under the posts.
Scarlets continued their resurgence in the second half and a
maul took them to within inches of line, which Magnus Lund was deemed to have
illegally pulled down, for which a penalty try was awarded and the Sale player
sent to the sin bin.
A mammoth penalty from the reliable boot of Dan Jones put
the Welsh side in front for the first time as Sale felt the pressure of only
one win in their last 19 Champions Cup matches.
But the home side rallied and MacGinty held his nerve to
slot the decisive penalty between the posts.

Sale had shown in this match that there is potentual there
if nothing else as for Scarlets with nothing on the line for them I think that
they relaxed as they had played much better against the big 2 earlier in the
group
