Toulon's Charles Ollivon is tackled by Ben O’Connor of Munster, whose efforts were not enough to earn a Champions Cup victory in France on Sunday. However, Munster captain Tadhg Beirne said: “There’s no point in arguing because once the decision is made, the decision is made. Munster and Jack Crowley can reflect on some positives in their performance despite the disappointment of losing in Toulon. Granted, the likelihood is that Munster will be away in the Round of 16 for the fourth season running. Leinster's Luke McGrath and Robbie Henshaw try to grab hold of La Rochelle's Nathan Bollengier during Saturday's Champions Cup encounter.
