Saracens produced an outstanding performance in testing conditions to beat Toulouse 20-14 this morning, and secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions Cup.

Saracens held a blunt review of their stuttering season after a poor defeat at Leicester last weekend, saying they had "confronted what was wrong" and were ready to "do the talking on the field" against the six-time European champions.

Mark McCall's side did just that at a wet and windy StoneX, fronting up to the star-studded Toulouse side with their best display of the season.

Number eight Tom Willis, whose elder brother Jack was in Toulouse's back row, gave another stellar performance to underline how much he will be missed when he moves to Bordeaux at the end of the season.

Rotimi Segun scored two tries while Willis bagged the other as Saracens scored 17 unanswered first-half points to take control of the match.

Sarries will bid for the top spot in Pool 1 when they face group leaders Glasgow Warriors away next Monday, but a losing bonus point would be enough to secure their progress to the knockout stage.

Toulouse have now lost two group games, having been humbled 28-21 by Glasgow last time out, and head into their final match at Sale on Sunday potentially needing to win to go through.

In other results, Toulon beat Munster 27-25, Harlequins thrashed Stormers 61-10, and Bordeaux Begles defeated Northampton Saints 50-28.
