Back up and running here in Lyon

Half time at the Matmut Stadium and there is very little in this tightly contested game. Neither team have reached their potential so far as the game remains an upfront contest. Handling errors have hampered any threatening offensive play out wide besides that of the try within two minutes. Both teams need to settle in the opening minutes of the second half if they are to take charge of this game. Stay tuned for more!

Castres reply with a penalty kick of their own on the stroke of half time. Lyon guilty of offside just outside their own 22

It's lyon who edge in front just before half time with a Brett penalty. Castres pinned for a ruck infringement. 9-8

Castres the stronger of the two sides thus far edging both territory and possession stats. Still quite a tight game as they fail to convert these into points

Lyon look to attack with an injection of pace, beautiful hands form both backs and forwards. The ball is held up over the line and we ll have a 5m scrum Enrico Januarie with the input

Lyon having some difficulties in the line out this evening, they continue to struggle to maintain possession

High tackle from Richie Gray on Romain Loursac offers Stephen Brett his first chance of 3 points. The fly half makes no mistake

TRY CASTRES - Romain Martial finishes off one of the first attacking plays of the game by crossing the Lyon line for 5 points. The opportunity to add two extra is missed, what a start for the visitors as they assert their dominance early here

We are under way here at Matmut Stadium!
