Topsy wasn't sure about Patrick Moore's monocle as the MOM award...
London Irish crashed out of the Heineken Cup despite Topsy Ojo’s superb performance on the wing that at times threatened to upset the three-time champions.
Along with fellow Exile winger Sailosi Tagicakibu, Ojo was a constant threat, scoring a try in the first half and claiming the man of the match award, giving further credence to those backing him for an England call.
It was Ojo who almost got The Exiles off to the perfect start when he raced on to Shane Geraghty’s kick through in the first minute, only for Yves Donguy to beat him to the ball before he could cross the line.
But the 22-year-old didn’t have too long to wait before he got on the scoresheet when, with the match finely balanced midway through the first half, Ojo found space out wide and raced away from Jean-Baptiste Elissalde, before bypassing a half-hearted Cedric Heymans tackle to register the opening try between the posts.
But despite the early promise of an upset, Manu Ahotaeiloa and William Servat scored two quick-fire tries for Toulouse just before half-time for a 15-10 lead going into the break.
And despite levelling almost immediately following the restart through Tagicakibu, Peter Hewat missed the kick and two Elissalde penalties in three minutes meant that Irish’s gritty display would ultimately end in failure, as Toulouse reached their fifth Heineken Cup final.
