Trinh-Duc tries and ambitious drop goal far out but it drops short. Montpellier controlling the game early on.

Great start for Montpellier as they get an early pressure with Stade being penialised for not rolling away 3-0 to Montpellier

we are underway here as Stade kick-off

The teams are out and we are moments away from kick-off.

All eyes will be on scrum-half Jonathan Pelissie who scored 31 points last week grabbing two tries and 21 points from the boot.

Stade won this game 32-16 last year so they would be hoping for something similar tonight.

Welcome along to our coverage of this eagerly anticipated Top 14 game, where second placed Stade Francais take on third placed Montpellier. Tonight's winner will find themselves top of the table for the time being with Toulon not playing until tomorrow when they travel to face Oyonnax. Montpellier will be quite confident going into this game after thumping Clermont 43-3 last weekend, while Stade Francais struggled against Oyonnax in a 16-15 win. They will be happy with they're start to the season as they hope to win they're first championship since 2007
