Full time and Castres have won this game comprehensively with a score of 51-10. From the first minute Castres have been on top and havent let Grenoble have a sniff. Castres scored tries at all the right times - right after kick off, at the end of the first half and at the start of the second half this shows a lack of concentration from the away side at the important stages of the game. This is exactly the performance Castres have been looking for and will be looking to use it as a springboard to get their season going.
Utter dominance from the home side as they score their 7th try of the game. After winning their own scrum 5m out they go through the phases with short passes to the forwards, until Combezou eventually bundles his way over the line
Another brilliant try from Castres as they go the length of the pitch with some intricate passing. Rallier gets the final touch as he sprints over in the corner
Martial playing in the unfamiliar position of scrum half for Castres and is making a number of mistakes. Luckily for Castres the game is already won otherwise that Kockott yellow card could have proven to be costly
Both sides giving away a number of penalties which is slowing the game down
4th yellow card of the game and again its for cynical play. This time its Kockott who purposely goes in at the side to slow down Grenoble as they were attacking well
Hegarty sent to the bin for a professional foul at the breakdown as Castres looked to be on the way to score a 6th try
Grenoble hit back almost instantly. A poor clearance gives Grenoble a LO inside Castres 22 which they win and maul over the line. Hegarty is the man who gets his name on the scoresheet
4th try of the game for Castes as they win in from 90m. Grenoble had their first bit of attacking possession but as they tried to go wide Martial intercepted it, he linked up well with Lamerat who passes out to Evans to score
The second half starts the exact same way as the first as Grenoble are caught in possession deep inside their own half. This time rather than scoring Lamerat acts as the provider as he passes out to Kockott who scores in the corner
