LONDON (Reuters) - Toulon's class, big-match experience and the belief oozing through their expensively-assembled 'galacticos' secured an unprecedented third successive European title with a 24-18 victory over Clermont Auvergne at Twickenham on Saturday.

Australian Drew Mitchell's fantastic solo try, beating six men, 11 minutes from time clinched rugby's inaugural Champions Cup final for Toulon who repeated their 2013 final win over their French rivals.
