The first half of a two-match rugby reporting weekend for the Press Association saw me head to Castres’ Stade Pierre Fabre to watch a dead-rubber match that you couldn’t blame the two sides for not wanting to bother with.
Instead, it turned into something rather interesting. Sadly, the Bel Tel apparently couldn’t get images from the game itself, but you can’t have everything…
Castres left it very late to win a dramatic dead rubber match against Gloucester 24-22 and finish second in Pool Two.
