Rory Kockott gets his side off the mark with a penalty but it's hard to see any hope for the visitors in this match with a man down for the rest of the game. They will have to dig deep as they try to calm things down

Tom Maiden Sep 9

Swinging arm

Gregor B. Sep 9

What did he do?

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Try Montpellier! The home side opt for the scrum from the penalty and big Ben Mowen powers over from close range for his sides second try. Trinh-Duc kicks the conversion to make it 15-0.

Johnnie Beattie is red carded for a no arms tackle on Timoci Nagusa. Looked like a harsh decision from the referee but he was judged to have had a dangerous swinging arm

Another penalty for Montpellier, this time its 5 meters out and for offside by Diarra

Again Trinh-Duc pulls his kick to the left. It stays 8-0

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Montpellier have really hit the ground running here with Castres under a lot of pressure as they concede a penalty at the scrum within kicking distance for Trinh-Duc

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Trinh-Duc pulls his penalty to the left and wide

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

The Castres defence was stretched after the break from Nagusa and they never recovered as Montpellier gain quick ruck ball and get it wide to Kelian Galletier who goes over for the games opening try out wide
