Thr Montpellier scramble defence is good however, and eventually Perpignan knock the ball on, allowing Trinh Duc to clear his lines. 18 minutes gone, score remain 3-0.
After 12 minutes Bustos Moyano opens the scoring with an easy kick from infront of the posts, after Perpignan are penalised for the tackler not releasing at the ruck. This coming off the back of an extended period of pressure in Perpignan territory for Montpellier.
5 minutes gone and no scores to report as of yet, but Montpellier have started the better of the sides. Trinh Duc especially running hard and controlling the pace of the game.
Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this game from the final round of Top 14 matches of this years competition. Montpellier, who have already secured their place in this years play offs, can still grab fourth place, and in doing so secure a home play off berth, but it would take somewhat of a miracle needed to claim 5 points and over turn a large points difference. Perpignan are playing for pride, which we all know they have in abundance so this should be a competitive affair!
