Ça vaut combien de point ton "essaye" ?
And it’s all over here at the Stade Jean Bouin and the home side take a 35 point victory! Stade Francais have simply blown away the visiting side in what was a hugely convincing display from them. 3, extremely costly, yellow cards contributed massively to Biarritz’s downfall in a pointless second half for them. Stade grabbed this opportunity with both hands and were efficient and ruthless in their execution. Stellar performances from Parisse yet again and the young fly half, Plisson, ensured 4 tries for the hosts and a valuable bonus point victory. A great way to christen the new stadium! Biarritz will rue their costly mistakes but there is no doubt the superior team have won here tonight. Hard questions will need to be answered in a very short space of time as the Blanco's men will look to turn things next weekend. That's all from us here at UR, I hope you enjoyed this evening's coverage and tune in again soon for further analysis on this weekends rugby.
TRY STADE. Well the gates have well and truly opened here in the French capital. Vuidravuwaki, the talented Fijian winger, darts around the side of the ruck to slip in behind the defensive line and cross for his first try. Morne Steyn bags his first points for his new team with a comfortable conversion. Biarritz are nothing short of broken and disheartened as they face a heavy heavy defeat.
TRY STADE. Well at this point the game is all but tied up as Stade continue to run riot against a severely weakened opposition. This time it was inside centre, Danty who used his quick feet to dance around a weak tackling effort and dive under the posts from 5 out. Lovely handling efforts from the home side has produced some very entertaining rugby here this evening
TRY STADE. Beautiful hands from none other then the world class Parisse allowed for the ball to be spread wide and Arias races over in the left hand corner for a majestic try from the Parisian side
Waenga and Haget both sin binned for Biarritz! Continued cynical play from the hosts at the break down resulted in the first for the sub fly half and Haget simply could not resist the urge of a deliberate knock on. Biarritz really struggling to deal with the pressure
Come on Biarritz
It’s half time here at the Stade Jean Bouin and the home side lead their southern competitors by 16 points to 3! Superior in both scrum and lineout, it has led to numerous scoring opportunities which the hosts have duly converted. Plisson has been energetic and creative in the number 10 shirt for Stade and is making a big statement to the coaching staff with super star, Morne Steyn warming the bench tonight. Biarritz simply have no answer and appear to be lacking leadership as they feel the rath of the Parisians. Maybe the introduction of talisman Yachvilli off the bench is necessary in order to steady the ship and get that score board ticking over. Stay tuned for the second half!
TRY STADE. A well deserved 7 points for the hosts! They lay siege to Basque line for more then 12 minutes and had previously had a controversial try disallowed. Rabadan eventually crossed the white wash for the first try of the game. Dominance in the set piece is crucial to the stade game plan and Biarritz are really struggling to cope at this point in the game.
