Top 14 Highlights Round 17: Castres v Racing 92

Castres Olympique take the win over the visiting Racing 92 side! Final score 18-9. No tries were scored throughout the match, all points scored by both teams were done so by their kickers after receiving penalties. Both teams defended their try lines excellently today, Castres having a slightly better game than the visitors and overall won the match. Both teams seemed to refuse to play the ball in their own half and booting it deep every chance they got to do so, protecting their try line in the process. The first half in particular was messy play but throughout the game too many penalties were given away.  dangerous tackle against Rory Kockott gave R92 a yellow card in the final minutes of play. The kickers should all be acknowledged as today was a kicking match both at the poles and to gain ground, and had a massive influence on the game. Unluckily for the visitors they have been over taken by Castres on the log and have lost their third game in a row. Congratulations to the victors for the fourth win in a row and for climbing the leader board. My name is Ted Barber, hope you enjoyed the match.
