Biarritz respond quickly. They surge back into the Parisians' half and begin to hammer away at the defences, sweeping the ball from touch-line to touch-line in search of space. Eventually the pressure begins to tell and Stade Francais concede a penalty for an offside infringement. Yachvili makes no mistakes.
Blood replacement.
Biarritz draw first blood after a sustained period of pressure in the opposition half. Yachvilli, feeds Thomas on a superb line. Thomas darts through a gaping hole and touches down between the posts. Minutes later, Biarritz infringe on the floor and concede a penalty. Bezy converts to points.
Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of this Top 14 clash between ninth and eleventh place Stade Francais and Biarritz. Both teams will be looking to finish their seasons on positive notes, particularly Biarritz who crashed out of the Amlin last week with a heavy defeat to Leinster. Stade will look to build towards their Amlin Cup final in a couple weeks, and a win here will be important for their preparations.
