Fiji Water Flying Fijians winger Jiuta Wainiqolo scored a try in the dying stages to help his Toulon side steal a 30-27 win over Clermont in their Top 14 clash early this morning.

Clermont looked like they were going to run away with a win at home after holding a 27-23 lead with 4 minutes remaining on the clock but Wainiqolo broke the hearts of the home side with that brilliant try in the 77th minute.

Wallabies inside back Noah Lolesio was also outstanding as well with his kicking boots as he scored 15 points through 3 penalty kicks at goal and 3 conversions.

Former Flying Fijians utility back Setareki Tuicuvu also started for Toulon in the centres while former Flying Fijians backrower Peceli Yato started for Clermont at flanker and scored the first try of the game.

Clermont led 14-13 at halftime.

In other To 14 matches early this morning, Racing 92 beat Stade Francais 13-9, Bayonne beat Pau 35-16, Perpignan defeated Montpellier 23-16 and Lyon lost to Oyonnax 38-20.
