Hooks kicks us off

Ultimate Rugby Dec 12

After Hooks kick goes short the referee blows the whistle for half time. This first half has been dominated by Stade and by scrums. Perpignan have not been able to deal with the power of the Stade scrum and it has resulted in a sin binning and a penalty try. Although Perpignan do look dangerous with the ball in hand and if Hook can find his kicking boots they could possibly force their way back into this game. Second half to come
