Penalty to Montpellier and a chance to reduce the deficit

What a start for La Rochelle as they gather the restart and Kieft rounds off the attack

The match is underway

La Rochelle hosts Montpellier in round 23 of the French Top 14.
La Rochelle is in 8th spot with ten wins and twelve defeats. They will look for a win to keep their chances of breaking into the top 6 playoff positions alive.
Montpellier lies second on the log and is in a fine run of form. They have won their last eight Top 14 matches and last ten in all competitions. They will look to keep the winning momentum going in the coming weeks before the playoffs.

could be because they've only lost at home about once maybe twice in all compitions in the last two years I think might be wrong

Weakened team for challenge cup final maybe?

Why are the odds ridiculously high for Montpellier win
