We are underway with the second half!

Ultimate Rugby Dec 12

Castres win a penalty from the resulting play thanks to Montpellier being offside. Kockott makes no mistake with the attempt on goal which turned out to be the last play of the half. It is Castres that go in at the break as deserved leaders following a highly impressive opening half of play. Consistent ill-discipline however has been a major problem for the visitors and has been truly punished by the boot of Kockott. However, with only 10 points separating the sides, it is very much all to play for.
