A late score from Cyril Baille took Toulouse into the Top 14 semi-finals as they ground out a victory over underdogs Oyannax. 

The substitute front-rower went over with only seven minutes to play and Toulouse clung on to set up a mouth-watering clash with Champions Cup runners-up Clermont Auvergne for the a place in the showpiece final.

Toby Flood hit all 15 of the other points from his trusty boot, but Oyannax had led through a Hemani Paea try and 14 points from Benjamin Urdapilleta.

But with time running out Toulouse hammered the Oyannax line and eventually the pressure told as Baille went over in the corner.

Toulouse finished third and Oyannax sixth in the league, setting up this playoff clash. In the other fixture Stade Francais beat Racing Metro - they will play Champions Cup winners Toulon in the semi-final.
