Toulouse secure their sixth European Cup despite Richie Arnold being sent off in extra time
It was a bitter disappointment for Leinster, who have now lost their last three successive finals.
Ramos provided the decisive points, with three penalties taking them out of reach as Toulouse came on strong despite being a man down. Ross Byrne’s penalty rewarded a promising spell for Leinster, who then attacked with precision off a scrum only for Toulouse to show their breakdown expertise for the second of Robbie Henshaw’s two breaks.
Toulouse showed remarkable resilience as they defended their line in a one-sided third quarter, but the failure to capitalise on a dominant period also highlighted Leinster’s inability to build a score.
