-Following France's World Cup defeat

-to New Zealand a week ago...

-..all the teams welcomed their

-international stars back this week.

-No team was happier than Toulon...

-..who've had a shaky start

-to the season.

-Oyonnax are the visitors

-at the Felix Mayol later.

-Montpellier will host the team

-at the top of the league, Clermont.

-But first, to the team

-who were second in the league...

-..Racing and their derby game

-against Stade Francais.

-Stade were hoping that victory

-over their neighbours...

-..would change the course of

-the poor season they've had so far.

-This is a line-out

-for Stade Francais.

-The hooker is Remy Bonfils.

-They've secured possession.

-The forwards are pushing onwards.

-Scrum half, Julien Tomas.

-Out to the captain,

-the flanker, Burban.

-Plisson is at fly half.

-Out it comes to midfield.

-There's no way through.

-It's Tomas again.

-They're keeping the ball alive.

-Van der Merwe has lost possession.

-Racing have stolen it

-and move it out right.

-Dambielle.

-An excellent offload

-out to Rokocoko.

-He's on the far touchline.

-He has men on the inside.

-Chavancy has been tackled.

-What a superb tackle!

-The move is still going.

-The try has been scored

-by the hooker, Camille Chat.

-What a start to the game!

-Rokocoko along the touchline,

-the pass to Chavancy.

-He was tackled by Doumayrou,

-but when the ball came back...

-..look how the hooker goes like a

-train to cross for their first try.

-Brilliant!

-The ball is back

-with Stade Francais.

-It's Tomas again, out to Burban.

-That tackle was a little high,

-but the movement is still going.

-It's Tomas again.

-Two or three of the forwards

-are with him.

-One of them is the flanker,

-Secou Macalou. He's through the gap.

-He's crossed the line.

-He was only named in the team

-this morning.

-This is his first game for the club.

-He ripped the ball from the grasp

-of the scrum half and ran with it.

-It's a try.

-Exactly half an hour has gone by.

-It's a long kick downfield.

-Bonneval is back,

-but he's knocked the ball on.

-It will be a Racing scrum.

-The fullback is to blame.

-There is a bit of a scuffle going on

-between some of the players.

-In the middle of it is the winger,

-Djibril Camara.

-He'd better be careful.

-The referee will certainly

-want to speak to the touch judge.

-It's a yellow card for Camara

-and for Claassen.

-Camara's lost it.

-He is mouthing off to the Racing

-forwards as he leaves the field.

-An excellent run from the back,

-this time by Goosen.

-The fly half, Dambielle,

-is in support.

-Again, the lively hooker,

-Camille Chat, is there.

-They're just outside the 22.

-Goosen is there for a second time.

-He's gone for the gap

-but can't get through.

-It's Racing's ball.

-It's passed out to the right

-this time. Laulala.

-It's a long pass

-towards the touchline.

-Chavancy is there.

-He tries to pass it back inside.

-The move is still going.

-Dambielle goes for the try line.

-He's over the line.

-But was the ball grounded?

-The referee is consulting

-the fourth official.

-I'm not sure

-whether the ball was grounded.

-I think there were two defenders

-underneath the ball.

-One of them was Plisson

-and the other was Remy Bonfils.

-I don't think the ball was grounded.

-That was quite a tackle

-by the hooker.

-He did well to be there at all.

-He prevented Dambielle

-from grounding the ball.

-Excellent work by both defenders.

-What will be the fourth official's

-decision?

-No, it isn't a try.

-It'll be a five-metre scrum.

-The gap is now nine points

-after the penalty kicks...

-..from Machenaud

-and also the two from Goosen.

-Racing are still pressing.

-The replacement scrum half,

-Xavier Chauveau, is urging them on.

-They're within three metres

-of the try line.

-The ball has been ripped away.

-Rokocoko

-is playing scrum half this time.

-It's Racing's ball.

-The ball goes to midfield.

-Francois Van der Merwe is the lock.

-It's Chauveau again.

-It's out to Chavancy at fly half.

-It's a cross-field kick

-to the far corner.

-Marc Andreu is under it.

-It's a second try for Racing.

-He's delighted.

-That was excellent vision

-from Henri Chavancy.

-The kick was accurately measured.

-The smallest man on the field

-scored the try.

-Excellent!

-Just under five minutes to go.

-I wonder if there will be

-a dramatic climax.

-I wonder whether Stade Francais

-will get anything out of this game.

-There is a 14-point gap.

-The fullback is Bonneval.

-Once again, one of Stade Francais'

-forwards is to blame.

-I think it was Flanquart who came in

-from the side and hit Laulala.

-It's a yellow card

-for the international lock.

-He lost his head.

-They're down to 14 men.

-Watch Laulala there

-being pushed aside.

-Once again, the referee is spot-on.

-One more effort. Three minutes

-of added time have passed.

-The forwards are pushing hard.

-They're going for a consolation try.

-The replacement scrum half

-is Clement Daguin.

-There's no-one on the blind side.

-He crosses

-and it's a consolation try.

-The substitute,

-Clement Daguin, scores the try.

-When the ball came back,

-it was very untidy.

-It shot out and the sub probably

-wondered why there was no-one there.

-No-one from the home team.

-This is a very important kick.

-This could give the team

-a bonus point.

-The ball is high, but it's about

-a foot wide of the posts.

-Five wins out of six for Racing

-after a disappointing game.

-Racing 27-18 Stade Francais.

-Racing keep their noses in front

-and keep up the pressure at the top.

-After the break,

-we'll witness Toulon's efforts...

-..to get their season

-back on track...

-..and find out how Clermont

-did against Montpellier.

-Welcome back. We head straight to

-the game between Toulon and Oyonnax.

-The champions

-have missed their star players.

-But they will have no excuses

-if they lose at home...

-..to a team struggling to get a win.

-The teams are currently separated

-by Nick Robinson's penalty.

-Toulon in the red

-are threatening in Oyonnax's 22.

-Josua Tuisova created the chance

-for scrum half Jonathan Pelissie.

-Forwards and backs, they're

-so comfortable with ball in hand.

-That is the Toulon way. They move it

-in Bastareaud's direction.

-Bastareaud straightens up

-and he's over.

-It's the first try of the game.

-The Toulon supporters

-are celebrating.

-Toulon run it

-from their own try line.

-This is Tuisova. He's been prominent

-in this opening 20 minutes.

-He sets it back for Pelissie.

-Was that a knock on?

-Du Plessis gets the ball

-out to Bastareaud.

-Bastareaud out to Juan Smith.

-Smith! That's a hopeless tackle.

-Smith is over

-for Toulon's second try.

-Oyonnax should have

-defended better here. It's too late.

-The ball goes to the back and Smith

-leads his team by example.

-He sets it back.

-Is there a third try here

-for the home side before the break?

-They're trying to create a platform.

-The forwards set it up perfectly

-for Pelissie.

-The scrum half takes his time.

-It comes to the flanker, Bruni.

-Pelissie again.

-The ball comes out quickly

-and then back in.

-Josua Tuisova.

-He is a firm favourite here.

-It's a third try for Toulon

-and Tuisova gets it.

-Nobody was going to stop the giant.

-Oyonnax are looking for

-their first try in this second half.

-They've lost possession.

-That's been their story.

-Armitage to Bastareaud.

-He's looked comfortable with the

-ball in his hands this afternoon.

-They move the ball once again

-in their own 22.

-The confidence

-is flowing for Toulon.

-We know they're a gifted team.

-They're playing instinctively.

-There he is picking the ball up,

-Josua Tuisova.

-The fans are on their feet.

-He pushes the Oyonnax players aside.

-Jonathan Pelissie threatens.

-It's out to Maxime Mermoz.

-He's had a memorable afternoon.

-That's a wonderful pass

-to Romain Taofifenua.

-How the second row got there,

-I don't know.

-Toulon's supporters celebrate.

-Mermoz with the assist. He realized

-that the support was there.

-On the sunny south coast,

-it's raining tries in Toulon.

-Jonathan Pelissie, the scrum half,

-is in amongst it again.

-He's had an excellent game.

-This is Matt Stevens,

-the former Bath and England prop.

-That ball came back quickly.

-Lachie Turner.

-It's nice to see Toulon's faith

-in each other. This is Bastareaud.

-Bastareaud out to Delon Armitage.

-He takes full advantage

-of the genius of his team-mates.

-Delon Armitage took advantage there.

-The ball goes to the back this time.

-The South African, Juan Smith,

-was the receiver.

-They go together again.

-They push forward.

-The try line is getting nearer.

-No.23 is Boughanmi.

-The drive was significant. Oyonnax

-have had their hearts broken.

-Willie de Plessis.

-That tackle was high.

-The referee has played advantage.

-Maxime Mermoz has taken full

-advantage of excellent officiating.

-The crowd were baying for a penalty.

-The referee ignored them.

-It paid dividends in the end.

-The replacement scrum half

-is Sebastien Tillous-Borde.

-The replacement fly half

-is Ulupano Seuteni.

-Bastareaud, through the hands

-out to Sireli Bobo on the wing.

-He's got pace to burn.

-The former Biarritz winger

-tops off another Toulon move.

-He drew the man to create

-the chance. Pace did the rest.

-There's only been one team

-in this match really.

-It would be wonderful if Oyonnax

-could get a consolation score.

-It's been very one-sided.

-Oyonnax spread the ball for once.

-Can they create something

-with just minutes left.

-Welshman Nick Robinson

-left the field early due to injury.

-Sebastien Tillous Borde

-spotted an opportunity.

-Delon Armitage

-feeds the ball to Bobo.

-Watch him go. It's like

-he's playing on a local beach.

-They win the ball.

-Everything happens at pace.

-That is the secret to Toulon's play.

-They're bound to be one of Europe's

-best teams again this season.

-The handling is superb.

-That was sublime from Bastareaud.

-Bobo sidesteps

-and he has the ball in one hand.

-Bobo is in under the posts.

-It's been an unforgettable afternoon

-for the reds of Toulon.

-They've lost three games

-this season.

-It's bound to improve

-after a performance like that one.

-Delon Armitage with the conversion.

-The home team win 61-3.

-The wine will be flowing

-on the Mediterranean tonight.

-If there were questions

-about Toulon before the game...

-..this victory

-will have silenced the critics.

-Only four points separate Clermont

-at the top and Montpellier in 4th.

-Would Les Cistes be the first team

-to beat Clermont this season?

-Lopez. Rougerie attacks from deep.

-Vulivuli.

-He seems to break that first tackle

-every time.

-They are coming to the blind side.

-Bruzulier, the scrum half,

-is in charge.

-It's into midfield

-for Vito Kolelishvili from Georgia.

-He tries to add some momentum

-to the move.

-Oh! Very sharp from the scrum half.

-The referee is playing advantage.

-They don't want the advantage,

-they want the penalty.

-Just watch Bruzulier on the replay.

-He spotted Willemse, the second row,

-was slow moving back.

-Here we go. Oops-a-daisy!

-He's in the way.

-It's a chance for Lopez then.

-He's got two penalties already.

-Catrakilis

-has already responded to those.

-The Clermont fly half gives his team

-the lead for the third time.

-Mogg.

-There's plenty of height on that.

-Lopez awaits. there's not much doubt

-as to where this one is going.

-Who will be waiting for it?

-Jesse Mogg is there.

-That is just wonderful

-from the fullback.

-That good work was characteristic...

-..of the way he's played

-for ACT and Australia.

-Can Montpellier take advantage

-of the fullback's good work?

-Paillaugue to Lucas,

-the substitute fly half.

-It's a great pass to Fall in space.

-He has Nagusa inside him!

-Nagusa will score

-the game's first try.

-What a wonderful try that was

-for Montpellier.

-Nagusa and Fall combined.

-They are celebrating.

-We should celebrate

-this excellent work from Jesse Mogg.

-That's where it all started really.

-The ball came to Fall in the end.

-The tackling was rather weak.

-He spotted Nagusa up in support.

-Montpellier take the lead

-for the first time.

-Abendanon is up from fullback.

-Rougerie.

-Bruzulier goes to the blind side.

-Everything is a bit slow

-at the minute.

-There aren't many options

-for Clermont.

-Kolelishvili once again.

-He gets a bit of momentum going.

-It comes back inside.

-That's an interception.

-Ben Mowen

-clearly hasn't heard the whistle.

-He didn't have the legs in the end.

-They'll come all the way back

-for a Clermont penalty.

-You can hear the crowd's reaction.

-They aren't happy.

-Offside is the decision.

-It's a chance for Lopez

-to close the gap before half-time.

-His left foot

-has been flawless so far.

-It's perfect once again.

-Montpellier 14-12 Clermont.

-Qera, the No.8, goes up well.

-Lucas with the half break.

-Liebenberg is on his shoulder.

-Who's with him? Mowen, the captain.

-They're inches short.

-It's a try.

-It wasn't Mowen.

-Who will be the last man up?

-It's the second row,

-Robins Tchale-Watchou.

-Mowen almost got there.

-It's the second row

-from Cameroon...

-..who stretches the lead

-for Montpellier.

-Eleven minutes left,

-12 points between them.

-Clermont are on Montpellier's

-five-metre line.

-They're into midfield.

-Radosavljevic.

-Rougerie on the angle.

-He's stayed on his feet somehow.

-He drives towards the posts.

-Have they lost the ball?

-Montpellier

-have got hold of the ball.

-Nagusa is in at scrum half.

-He can't possibly go from here?

-No, he won't.

-That move

-sums up Clermont's evening.

-They had an opportunity.

-Nagusa did think of it

-for half a second...

-..before realizing the distance.

-There is no need for words.

-The face says it all.

-We're into the last minute.

-They're not going to win the game...

-..but Clermont

-are determined to get something.

-Strettle is looking for work.

-Radosavljevic.

-Everything has slowed again.

-James has been driven back.

-Montpellier's defence

-has been excellent all evening.

-It's a penalty.

-They have to run it.

-Raka, the winger,

-takes responsibility.

-For the first time tonight...

-..Montpellier's defence

-has been split.

-Raka scores for Clermont.

-They'll be very disappointed...

-..that Clermont have scored

-in the last move of the game.

-The hooter has sounded.

-It's up to Brock James

-to add the conversion.

-He is successful, but Montpellier

-are the winners here tonight.

-Clermont came here undefeated.

-That record has disappeared

-here in Montpellier.

-In the other Top 14 league games...

-..there was a two-point difference

-as Bordeaux beat Toulouse.

-Grenoble got the better of Castres.

-The home team

-lost by 23 points to 31.

-Down on the south coast, Pau missed

-their chance against Brive.

-They lost by 13 points to 18.

-On Sunday afternoon, it was

-a comfortable win for La Rochelle.

-They beat Agen.

-This is how the table looks

-after this weekend's results.

-Despite their defeat,

-Clermont are still top.

-Montpellier remain in second place.

-Racing move up to third place,

-changing places with Toulouse.

-The others remain the same.
