Head coach Wayne Pivac paid tribute to the tenacious qualities of his Scarlets side as they dug deep to claim the prized Champions Cup scalp of three-time winners Toulon at Parc y Scarlets.A try by Wales centre Scott Williams and the boot of fly-half Rhys Patchell had put the home side in control early on, but Toulon upped the pressure in the second half and could have snatched it at the death, only for Wales international Leigh Halfpenny to miss a long-range penalty in the final minute.It was a very satisfying win, but very nerve-wracking in that second half, said Pivac after the nail-biting 22-21 Pool 3 victory.We did everything we wanted to do in the first half, we created scoring opportunities, scored one try and blew another when Gareth Davies couldnt hold onto the pass. We ran them around and I thought they (Toulon) were blowing a bit.We knew at half-time they would come very direct and they didnt let us down. To keep Toulon tryless is a credit to the work the boys have done during the week on their first-up tackles. That was very pleasing.The boys will enjoy this. We dont get opportunities to play a side like Toulon, with their experience and history, too often.I am just glad for them that they got something out of it. It would have been pretty cruel if we had lost it at the death.Denver Nuggets Store . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies.
