The nightmare culminates with a final try - Connor offloading out of contact to release Jaulhac on a clever line. Minutes later the final whistle sounds. Castres hang their heads in disappointment after being convincingly dispensed with by an inspired looking Bordeaux side. Thanks for joining us folks, we hope you enjoyed!

After the initial flurry of second-half tries, Castres regain some composure and secure a try of their own. A quality, collective effort sees Combezou touch down.

Lesgourgues in for another try. Credit to the on-form winger Talebula who slips an impossible offload to free up Lesgourgues who once again flaunts his impressive pace to escape a scrambling Castres defence.

Pulsating start to the second half with UBB running in two tries in the first three minutes! Lesgrouges crosses first for a superbly worked individual try. He finds an opening on the wing and bolts down-field chipping ahead and collecting to evade the final defender. Maudale runs in number five, scything through a feeble Castres defence on half-way and sprinting clear. Beauxis draws the first conversion wide but nails the second.

Half-time score is a fair reflection of the the game so far. Castres have spent the majority of the game on the backfoot and have struggled to unlock a resolute UBB defence. Beauxis having a huge impact on the game so far while the UBB forwards have dominated the opposition pack up front.

Castres clear the ball following the scrum, but the kick-chase is poor and Bordeaux resume their offensive effort within the Castres 22. Finally, it's a beautifully executed kick from Felix LeBourhis that sends Talebula over for the try. Beauxis' conversion drifts wide.

A promising attacking spell from Bordeaux is cut short when lock forward Malais spills the ball forwards, inches away from the whitewash. Scrum Castres.
