A good rolling maul from the Montpellier pack is collapsed by Grenoble, Montpellier opt for a scrum 5 out.

A beautifully weighted grubber in behind the defence from Jesse Mogg forces Gio Aplon to carry it out for a 5 metre lineout

Another dominant Montpellier scrum presents Benoit Paillague with the chance to push his side a further three points ahead which he does

Another exchange of loose kicks between both back threes leads to nothing an error from Francois Trinh-Duc trying to regather an up and under in the Grenoble half

Johnathan Wisniewski takes an easy three points to narrow the gap to one

A slick backline move resulting in a clean line break from Jackson Willison breaks down again due to poor handling five metres out from the Montpellier line. Grenoble offered a reprieve in the form of a penalty

Jonathan Best returns from the bin

A scrappy opening to the half as both sides launch promising attacks only to lose possession at the key moment

The second half starts off with Montpellier on the offensive but some poor ball presentation leads to a knock on near the Grenoble red zone

A decent enough first 40 from the two sides. Pretty attritional stuff so far with the Montpellier pack being well martialed by Benoit Paillague coming marginally out on top. Grenoble's indiscipline has cost them at the key moments and it is definitely something they should address as we move into the second half
