Full Time and Brive have done enough to seal a much needed win. Though momentum swayed and the competition looked even for large periods Brive were more clinical, producing 2 tries through Asieshvili and Mafi. They will advance in the table and leave behind them the relegation zone. Former champions Castres find themselves in a dangerous position and they will need to improve as the season progresses.

With 5 minutes to go a long range effort from Kockott hits the post.

The gap widens as Germain makes a massive effort from 48 meters out after Castres were pinged at the breakdown.

TRY! Castres are penalised in their own 22. Some quick thinking for Neveu as he takes it quickly and finds Mafi who has the pace to finish in the corner. Gaetan Germain slots the conversion. That's exactly what Brive needed heading into the final 10.

Yannick Caballero is shown yellow for carelessly playing the ball on the ground and slowing Brives play. Ruiz is taking a ruthless approach to poor discipline and rightly so.

Castres earn a penalty at the scrum and clear deep into Brives' half.

Brive form a maul and roll into the Castres half. They gain good ground and place strain on the Castres defense.

Ruiz produces a yellow card sending Andrew Mailei to the sin bin for an offense at a ruck. Palis capitalises on the poor discipline. 11-15.

Referee Ruiz looks to the TMO for a suspected yellow card offense by a Brive player.

Palis makes amends for the previous miss and pushes his side 1 up. Castres looking the more threatening side in the second half.
