The visitor knock on and the final whistle is blown. It's all over at Stade Charles-Mathon. It looked at times as if Montpellier could come back but Oyonnax' strong start with Tian scoring two consecutive tries put them in control for the first half. Intensity was high throughout but Oyonnax were more dangerous in attack. Thanks for following with Ultimate Rugby.
