We are back at the Stade Charles Mathon
Half time at the Stade Charles Mathon and the sides enter the break at 9 points a piece. A solid kicking display from Urdipaletta and Hook have made up all points so far in the game. It's certainly a tight encounter with neither side really offering an opportunity of a try. The game thus far has lacked a little spark and accuracy with each offensive line unable to hold on to the ball for any length of time. Scrum time will worry the home side as they truly have been dominated in the first 40 minutes. Hopefully the second half will bring with it some entertaining rugby! Stay tuned.
Oyonnax scrum simply cant handle pressure from the Perpignan pack and the Ref finally blows for a penalty. James Hook accurate once again! 9-9
Pergignan have a scrum 5 metres from the Oyonnax line after Lucas Amorisino carries the ball over this own white wash. Excellent opportunity for the visitors to get the first try of the game.
Oyannax pinned for holding on and James Hook has the opportunity to close the gap with a 45 metre penalty attempt. The Welsh man makes no mistake. 9-6
Pergignan pinned for offside once again. Sona Taumalolo the one guilty on this occasion. Urdipaletta makes it 2/3 to stretch his sides lead to 6
Urdipaletta gifts the hosts a 3 point lead with a well struck penalty. Crowd seem pleased with their sides performance so far. 6-3
Still 3-3 as neither team are able to get within 10 metres of the try line. Game very much being playing in the green zone thus far.
A couple of very unsteady scrums in a row. Ref calling for 2 or 3 resets there. Pergignan put in on their own 22m line. They eventually earn a penalty and James Hook kicks to touch
Perpignan penalised for collapsing a maul and Urdipaletta gets a chance to bring the sides level. The outhalf is successful! 3-3
