Stade are showing much more control. Just their hands are letting them down. Still in this game with plenty of time left.

Stade have certainly stepped up their defence in the second half.

Castres dominating the opening exchanges in this half as they did in the first.

TRY STADE: Lavalla crosses the line for the away side after strong rumbling of the ball from the Parisians.

The scrum is to be reset for the fourth time. Ref is running out of patience

Stade have opt for the scrum from 5 out.

YELLOW CARD CASTRES: Illegal slowing down of the ball by Tomas results in yellow card. Cynical play from the scrum-half

Stade with a few phases of their own come up just short of the line.

Another knock-on from the Parisians. Scrum Castres

More poor play from Stade. Making it easy for the home side so far.
