After sustained pressure by their forwards, Castres get the first chance to open the scoring but Kockott pushes his kick wide.

Brive win an early scrum penalty and Riaan Swanepoel kicks to touch.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Castres vs Brive. Castres are just clinging on to a playoff spot at the moment while Brive will look to bolster their case for Heineken Cup Rugby with a win on the road. With Toulon losing and Stade Francais drawing with Toulouse, there is a good oppurtunity for one of these teams to makes gains. The bookies have Castres as 12 point favourites so a losing bonus point would probably be the best Brive can hope for today.
