Challenge Cup Highlights: Ospreys v Stade Français
- 1626
Stade Francais won out 25-21 over Welsh side Ospreys today at the Millennium Stadium. There was little to separate these two in the first half with Ospreys looking slightly stronger enjoying more possession and more time in the oppositions half. The second half saw the game open up and Stade looked to be in trouble after they went down to 14 men when winger Josaia Raisuqe received a second yellow. Just two minutes after the red Raphael Lakfia got on the end of a nice cross field kick to put Stade in the lead. Julien Arias crossed the line for Stade just 5 minutes after Lakfia which sealed the victory for the french side. The win means Stade will face Bath in the semi final of the challenge cup.
