Toulon got their Top 14 campaign off to an impressive start when they claimed a 41-14 victory over Pau at Stade Mayol on Sunday.
In an entertaining game, played at a frenetic pace, Toulon were full value for their win outscoring their visitors four tries to two with Anthony Belleau finishing with a 21 point haul after slotting five penalties and three conversions and Chris Ashton crossed for a deserved brace.
Chris Ashton appears to be settling into life in France pretty well ☀️

But the former England winger didn’t have it all his own way, needing two set of stitches.
