Top 14 Round 9 Highlights: Oyonnax vs Castres

An incredibly physical battle between these 2 clubs. For the opening 20 minutes there were many penalties and both kickers were on from with the boot. There were 2 tries in the first half, one each side. Both were initiated by large amounts of pressure built up. Some tasty offloads helped Babilot cross the try line. It seemed as if Castres were on to but some strong defence allowed Oyonnax to come back, scoring a try towards the end of the half. The second half was filled with penalties. The boot of Urdapiletta and Botica being the only scores with no tries in the second half. The Castres defence did very well keeping out Oyonnax after 10 minutes hammering at their line, being held up twice. Final score: Castres 32 - 19 Oyonnax.
