PIC: Clermont-coloured ribbons blast from cannons… to mark Toulon’s Champions Cup victory

Sorry, Ted, I was looking at it upside-down.

Toulon clinched a historic third European Champions Cup in succession this evening at Twickenham but the celebrations weren't bathed in red as you'd expect. The French club beat fellow French club, Clermont, 24-18 in the showpiece in London and, even though it wouldn't have detracted one bit from their celebrations, there was a bit of a gaffe in the organising it seems as blue and yellow ribbons shot from the cannons to drench the victorious Toulon team. They would've looked alright descending on the Clermont side - seeing as it's their colours and all that - but it just didn't look right coming down on the Toulon players. Always stick with gold. You know where you stand with gold. https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/594564643194019840 https://twitter.com/TJL1967/status/594567199244853250
