Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this Top 14 clash between Toulouse and Castres. Both sides come into this match with 16 points after the first 6 games and will be eager to take the spoils here today to cement their place in the top end of the table. Toulouse are without two key players in Thierry Dusatoir and Louis Picamoles who are both injured and Castres will fancy themselves to cause an upset here in this local derby. Expect this to be a close affair
