The Saints have parked themselves in the same spot on the field for the past 10 minutes. Can they make something of this territory...

Castres penalised for a dummy throw in the lineout and Northampton opt for their lineout just 10 metres from Castre's line

Just the start they wanted as Kockott adds 3 more and pushes the lead to 10 points.

And we're off for the final 40

Fact:
Castres have not won their first round in the Heineken Cup in 8 years. LAst win in 2005 against N.G. Dragons.

****!

Referee George Clancy blows an end to this first 40. Its the french champions who lead by 10 points to 3. A tight encounter all the same but the home team judging on the first half seem more hungry for the win. Northampton need to regroup at half time and try gain as much possession as possible for the second half.

Nails it.. Superb kick by Kockott

Castres playing all the rugby of the first half while also defending very well in the middle. Kockott tries his luck with a 55 metre kick inside his own half.
