Another great try by La Rochelle. Audy chips the ball over the top and its gathered by Alofa ALofa, then comes a big charge from Antonio, then the ball goes wide quickly to Murimurivalu who sprints over.

Castres just dont seem to commited to this match. Making too many basic errors

After the great response from Castres they go and give La Rochelle another penalty straight from kick off allowing them to increase their lead

Perfect response from Castres. Tales kicks deeps and the chase is good as is the counter ruck so they win back the ball. After a strong charge from Grosso down the left the ball goes right quickly allowing Combezou to score in the corner

Excellent start to the second half from the home side as they score a try in the opening minutes. Individual brilliance from Bobo who picks up the ball from the base of a ruck one handed and sprints through under the posts

Grobler almost gathers Grants restart but just takes his eyes off the ball at the last moment

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Half time at the Stade Marcel-Delfrandre and La Rochelle are leading 19-9. This game has been dominated by the referee as both sides are showing seriously poor discipline but the home side wont mind as they have a 10 point lead at the break
