A high tackle on Digby Ioane offers Jules Plisson his first chance at points

The teams enter the field for the second half!

HT in Montpellier and its the hosts that go in with a convincing lead over their opposition, Stade. 3 penalties from Paillague and a converted try from Nagusa the difference between the two sides. Stade haven't even come close to scoring as of yet, they continue to struggle at scrum time and now have to pay an additional price with Taulafo in the bin. Stay tuned to see if Stade can make anything of this second 40 or will it be Montpellier's evening.

TRY MONTPELLIER - The hosts immediately use their extra man advantage to stretch Stade's defence to the max. It's Timoci Nagusa who finally picks the ball off the back of the ruck and to barrel his way over the line. Paillague with the extras

Sakaria Taulafo sent to the bin for highly illegal play on the effective Montpellier maul. Not Stade's first infringement on the maul and the ref has finally lost patience

No mistakes

High tackle offers Paillague another shot at the posts. Should be straight forward for the number 9

An excellent phase of offloading sees Stade come so close to the game's first try. Initially started by a break from #hA14, the ball passed through the hands of 4 or 5 players before being knocked on just before the line by Meyer Bosman

Scrum to Montpellier just inside their own half and they win yet another penalty. Davit Kubriashvili the culprit on this occassion. Ball kicked into the Stade half

Unsuccessful
