Bryan Habana scored a try as Toulon beat Ulster 23-13 in their European Champions Cup match on Saturday.

Despite losing flyhalf Matt Giteau to injury after 27 minutes, Toulon were simply too strong up front for the hosts, with Steffon Armitage, Juan Smith and Chris Masoe dominant at the breakdown and in the loose.

Toulon's tries were scored by Habana and Delon Armitage, while Leigh Halfpenny kicked both conversions and three penalties.
