With tries from Drean and Ludlam, Toulon took the lead, leaving Bath scrambling. But Bath's Louie Hennessey gave them a glimmer of hope with an impressive try. However, the French team sealed their victory with a corner try in stoppage time, crushing Bath's dreams of a bonus point.
A controversial moment? Some might argue that the final try was a contentious decision, as it denied Bath a well-deserved bonus. But that's rugby for you—a game of inches and split-second decisions.
Despite the loss, Bath still managed to secure a try bonus point, placing them at the top of Pool Two. A small consolation, perhaps, but every point matters in this tournament.
