A convincing win by Montpellier with their forwards absolutely dominating the first half as they took a 19-0 lead into the break. La Rochelle much was stronger in the second half with the introduction of Dany Priso and Uini Atonio not only strengthening the scrum but making it a real weapon for the visitors. La Rochelle were the first side on the scoreboard through a Jeremey Sinzelle try before Paul Willemse responded for the home side. Sinzelle then sent a brilliant cross kick for Andreu who scored but it was too late for the visitors as Francois Steyn converted a penalty and Romain Ruffenach scored a late try to put the game beyond any doubt.
