The match is underway

Montpellier and Castres clash in the opening round of the French Top 14, a repeat of last seasons Final. On that occasion, Castres ran out 29-13 winners to lift the Title. Will Montpellier get revenge for that agonizing defeat, or will Castres start the new season how they ended the last.
