Knock on straight from the kick off, Ospreys with a scrum in the Castres 22.

Bigger gets us under way.

Slight delay to kick off, as we have a minutes silence in respect of Nelson Mandela

Sides are both as named this evening, cold but dry conditions should lead to some good rugby.

Good afternoon and welcome to UR's live coverage of todays clash form pool 1 of the Heineken cup, which sees Castres face off against Ospreys. After a poor start to the competition from the Welsh outfit this season, they must win tonight to give them any hope of progressing any firther in the competition even at this early stage. Castres have one win under their belt already this year, and will be looking to take the maximum amount of points tonight at home infront of a loud french crowd. Kickoff moments away.

an eternal optimist, this game will be over by ht. ospreys have nothing going forward

Ospreys to win by 2 points
