In a tight affair, La Rochelle take a slender 10-9 lead over Montpellier into halftime. La Rochelle scored as early as the sixth minute, which would prove to be the only try of the half. The boot of Catrakillis has kept Montpellier in the match, but the hosts have been unable to capitalise on the two yellow cards La Rochelle have received. All to play for in the second forty.
