0:09:14 > 0:09:16- What can Oyonnax offer - in the second half?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Blanc makes the first mistake.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Bonfils feeds Nayacalevu - for the foot race.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- The winger celebrates - with a splash down.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- It's been a game - littered with Oyonnax errors.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Nayacalevu starts the second half - how he finished the first.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Bonneval spotted the space...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- ..but he won't benefit.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- The try will be scored - by Julien Tomas.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- The two substitutes combine - for another try for the home team.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Oyonnax are bound for the - second tier after this result today.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57- It's scant consolation for the fans - who have travelled to Paris.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- We've had a feast - from the home team today.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- There's another little - flash of skill from Plisson.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Another try for the Aussie, - Hugh William Pyle.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Plisson with the little bit of magic - to put his lock into space.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- A lovely blind pass.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Oyonnax might as well - have stayed at home.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- They haven't contributed at all - to this game.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- This could be a chance for Bonneval - who created a try earlier.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- He's going to score - Stade Francais' tenth try.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- There it is.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58- ..they only lost by three points.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Having rested players with one eye - on the Champions Cup final...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- ..Racing's line-up - was an unfamiliar one.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- This wasn't going to be easy - for them.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Mike Phillips is one familiar face - in a team of youngsters.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- The experienced players - have been rested...

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- It's there again with the captain, - Luc Barba.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- He's also unable - to reach the try line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Phillips protests - that he was impeded.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Maybe this time for Juandre Kruger.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- It's Camille Chat who crashes over.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- The young, lively hooker has been - given a chance this afternoon.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Another solid scrum - shows their superiority.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- It's out quickly to the left - and to Guillaume Namy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- The referee has one look - at the video screen...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- ..but there's no problem - with that try.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Dambielle left himself - far too much to do.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Not one player - who started for Racing today...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- ..started the Champions Cup - semi-final against Leicester.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- That's the huge task - facing the men from Paris...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- ..against this strong Brive side.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- It's always tough to win points - at Stade Amedee Domenech.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Ross Filipo charges forwards.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Marc Andreu weaves, flies and lands!
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- A superb try for the Racing winger.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- He is quite a talent.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- What about the run from Ross Filipo.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- He opened the door...
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- ..and then came Andreu, like - a laser, to score an excellent try.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Racing only have - a one-point advantage.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Phillips sweeps the ball - out to Tales.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- This is Gomes Sa, the tight head.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- He's well thought of in Paris.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45- The crowd is incensed.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- They'll be even more furious now.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Marc Andreu - has crossed for his second try.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Listen to the crowd's - dissatisfaction...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- ..with this play - from the tackle area.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Tales with the teasing little kick.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Marc Andreu - didn't need a second invitation.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Three tries for Racing.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Brive are keeping it tight.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- It's on its way.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- There are men out wide.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- But they decide - to charge down the middle.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Jean-Baptiste Pejoine - is the scrum half...
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- ..as the referee waits - for an advantage that didn't come.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- He is Monsieur Trainini.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Off they go again - through Arnaud Mela.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- The crowd cheers - every time he gets the ball.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Not the best pass - but can Snyman get there?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47- Yes, he can!
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Johan Snyman, - who was formerly with the Scarlets.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- There is a suspicion - that he lost control of the ball.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- But the referee was right there.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- It looks fine here.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- But from this angle, - there is a bit of doubt.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- As they tell me, - just read the headlines tomorrow.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Brive are back to within a point.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Three tries against two.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Racing attack once again. - One more chance before the break.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- What a tackle.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Johan Snyman is proving his worth - at Stade Amedee Domenech.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- We didn't see much of that on Parc - y Scarlets, it has to be said.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Mathieu Voisin is the flanker.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Well, then, this isn't a surprise.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- It's the tenth time that Racing have - been penalized in the first half.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Gomes Sa is the one - to be shown a yellow card.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- Monsieur Trainini - has finally run out of patience.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- He came in from the side.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- It was inevitable that the card was - shown for the team's infringements.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Gaetan Germain - has a kick of about fifty yards.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- He's made it look easy.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Gaetan Germain - is Brive's top scorer this season.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- He also wants to make an impression - on Guy Noves, the France coach.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- We are ten minutes - into the second half.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- It's been a quiet period of play.
