Grandstand finish here as the home side manage to just about hold out the late onslaught from the determined Parisians. Two quickly taken penalties gave Stade the opportunity to clinch the victory but they came up just short with a wayward pass into touch eventually ending the game. Stade will return to the capital with a feeling of missed opportunity and will look to turn things around in next weekends game away to Perpignan. Grenoble on the other will be satisfied with their evenings work and will go to champions Castres with hard earned points in the bag. That's all from us here folks, thanks for tuning in and we hope to see you again soon.

Silly foul given away by the tight head Edwards gifts Stade an opportunity to equalise but Porical fails to capitalise.

Outstanding effort from Courrent from 50 metres out giving Grenoble the advantage as we approach the final 10 minutes.

Both sides emptying the bench it appears as they look for something extra to edge out this match.

Stade seem to have finally found their rhythm here with fresh legs making an impact. Excellent link up play from the backs allows Arias to cross in the corner. That's sides level once again as this encounter begins to loosen up. We could have a very exciting finish on our hands.

A rolling maul from 5 metres out is used effectively and Grenoble's Andrew Hegarty crosses for the opening try of the match. Stade don't seem to have an answer to Grenoble's set piece play and are suffering as a result. That's 13 points now that Stade have conceded due to this superiority in both scrum and lineout.

Grenoble once again get the upper hand at scrum time resulting in a kickable penalty for Courrent which he duly converts to draw the scores level.

Half time here at the Stade Lesdiguieres. Both Grenoble and Stade appear to be struggling to brush off the summer rust and take control of the game. Scrappy play from both sides has seen a very broken first half develop. Accurate kicking from the boot of Julian Dupuy has given Stade a slight lead at the break in this tightly contested affair. Stay tuned for the second half.

Fantastic effort from Dupuy there from inside his own half sees the scrumhalf maintain his 100% record.

Persistent pressure from the Grenoble pack sees Stade's early lead fade. Courrent accurate with the boot once again.
