PENALTY BRIVE. The visitors take the lead for the first time as Laranjeira lands his second kick of the match. 9-6 in favour of the visitors.

As we approach half-time both sides would love to get a score on the board to carry a lead into the break.

PENALTY BRIVE. Once again the away side's response is swift, this time Thomas Laranjeira strikes from the tee to bring the sides back level again, 6-6.

PENALTY BUCHAREST. Almost 15 minutes after getting their first score, Bucharest get their second. Once again Vlaicu is the provider off the kicking tee. 6-3 the home-side now lead.

Brive are forced into an early change with Anderson Neisen coming on to replace winger Venione Voretamaya.

Game is fifteen minutes old and after the early few scores and misses there has been little in the way of headway from either side. Both teams are keenly contesting and no signs of a major break thus far.

DROP-GOAL BRIVE. Brive strike back instantly through a well-taken opportunistic drop-goal from Laurent Ferreres. Sides are level, 3-3.

PENALTY BUCHAREST. Vlaicu learns from his mistakes and makes sure to land this one, 3-0.

First chance of the game goes to Bucharest after Brive are pinged. Florin Vlaicu fails to convert off the tee however.

And we're underway!
