Toulon’s Champions Cup quarter-finals chances remain intact after a last-gasp win over Bath on Monday morning (AEDT).
Replacement flyhalf Freddie Michalak slotted a 75th minute penalty to win the game for Toulon, keeping them just two points shy of ladder leaders Wasps.
Michalak replaced an injured James O’Connor at the half, with starting 10 Quade Cooper moving to fullback for the second half.
Cooper made the second most metres in the Toulon side, finishing with 10 runs for 69 metres, as well as laying six tackles in the match.
Toulon are second in the group with two matches remaining and two wins would give them a shot at hosting a final.
The defending Champions Cup winners are yet to lose a game at home this season.
There are two rounds left in the Champions Cup pool stages, with sides returning to domestic competitions in February.
