81 | Ensagens RC can't seem to get their act together as Christian Wolf drops Ignaz Carstensen's pass before their attack even has a chance to get going. |                                                   |
80 | Alfons Amich takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over Ensagens RC stadium. Ignaz Carstensen positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Diego Misuraca.

77 | Five points for El Tyco Fire! Sílvio Prates pops a deft pass to Hector Raymond, who fends off Arnau Guerra before going over for the try. |                                                   |
76 | That's a safe throw to the front of the lineout for Ensagens RC. At least it was supposed to be, but Victorien Avril gets up in front of Ricardo Chassagne and steals the ball from right under his nose! | |
75 | Sílvio Prates fires the ball out to Colin Franken who trys to turn it back inside to Vittorino Airo, but Ensagens RC manage to bat it down. |                                                   |
74 | El Tyco Fire have stolen Ensagens RC's lineout ball! Torstein Thomassen mistimed his jump, and Andre Rasper got his hands to it first. Good work by El Tyco Fire at that lineout! | |
73 | El Tyco Fire's scrum half is smashed by Iu Hom. That run was so telegraphed that the postal service want to charge him for it! |                                                   |
72 | Ruck. El Tyco Fire get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack. | |

70 | El Tyco Fire have retained possession as their players were quick and picked up the loose ball. They'll be able to attack again | |
69 | That's a nice attack by El Tyco Fire, the ball is spread out wide to Colin Franken through the hands of Sílvio Prates and Vittorino Airo. What a hit! Colin Franken loses the ball as he gets absolutely smashed by a flying Santiago Zubizarreta. |                                                   |
68 | There are players smashing into this ruck from both sides.. it is a real contest for the ball. Eventually the El Tyco Fire players gain the upper hand and the ball emerges slowly on their side. | |
67 | El Tyco Fire are showing us some creative rugby today, Christophe Deballe passes to Hector Raymond who is stood right on the gain line. Hector Raymond tries a scissors move with Colin Franken but they are too close together and collide leaving the ball behind them. |                                                   |
66 | Turnover. El Tyco Fire now has possession and the forwards are calling for the ball, this could be costly for Ensagens RC. | |
65 | Ensagens RC's scrum half is smashed by Sílvio Prates. That run was so telegraphed that the postal service want to charge him for it! |                                                   |

62 | It looks like Ensagens RC lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball. | |

60 | It's a scrum to Ensagens RC. It's wheeling around as the ball is fed in, but Ensagens RC still win the ball. | |
59 | Scrum. El Tyco Fire with the put-in. The ball goes in, and the forwards begin to push. The scrum is starting to turn. That's some great work, especially by the Ensagens RC tighthead. It's gone past 90 degrees! Great work by Ensagens RC, who now get the put-in at the next scrum. | |
58 | Iu Hom has the ball. Arnau Guerra is coming in support at an angle, he receives the pass and leaves Hector Raymond for dead. He delivers a poor pass to Christian Wolf who juggles the ball before dropping it. Poor skills by both players for that last pass. |                                                   |
57 | At the ruck, the Ensagens RC back rower is burrowing like a demented mole, the ball comes back safely on the Ensagens RC side. | |
56 | Ignaz Carstensen smashes through Christophe Deballe's tackle. He's slowed down just enough though, and Andre Rasper finishes the job. |                                                   |
55 | Turnover. Ensagens RC now has possession and the backs are ready for a new attack. | |

52 | The half-back pairing is working well together today. Sílvio Prates dummies to his right before passing to his left where Vittorino Airo is in support. He takes the ball on, but Jacob Terribas is well positioned and puts in a big tackle. |                                                   |
51 | Good lineout for El Tyco Fire. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Victorien Avril wins the ball in the air. | |

49 | At the ruck, that's a devastating clean out. It's perfect attacking ball for the Ensagens RC half back. | |
48 | There was no love lost there! Torstein Thomassen was smashed by Daniel Chéron! Perfectly legal though. |                                                   |

46 | El Tyco Fire are awarded a penalty in Ensagens RC's half, pretty much in line with the posts. Emmanuel Camboulas steps up, succeeds in putting the ball over the bar this time, and the score goes to 5 - 3. | |
45 | Eloi Aixala is brought down hard! The defence are all over him, but he's holding on in hopes of support arriving. The ref blows for a penalty to El Tyco Fire. You just can't hang onto the ball after you've been tackled like that. | |
44 | Eloi Aixala tries to force his way through the defence, but El Tyco Fire are well organised and Daniel Chéron stops him in his tracks. |                                                   |
43 | Turnover. Ensagens RC now has possession and the backs are ready for a new attack. | |
42 | Victorien Avril runs right over Karl Lévêque, but he seems to have been put off balance just enough to mess up the pass to Marcelo Piano. |                                                   |
41 | That's a lovely hanging kick by Emmanuel Camboulas. Victorien Avril rises high above the Ensagens RC players to take the catch, giving Semen Şterngas no chance to contest. |                                                   |
| After the break, and Ensagens RC are just in front. There's still all to play for. The home crowd are going wild, to lift their team spirit.

26 | That's a good steady scrum and a good feed by El Tyco Fire. | |

21 | Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Sébastien Grange on Ricardo Chassagne.

16 | It looks like Ensagens RC lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball. | |
15 | Some good attacking play by Ensagens RC here. Wilson Robinet easily dismisses Daniel Chéron before sending a long floating pass towards Ignaz Carstensen. That looked forward, but not to the touch judge. A short well timed pass to Benjamin Whittaker puts him into space, but he fails to catch the ball. Ignaz Carstensen doesn't look too happy to see his hard work wasted. |                                                   |

12 | The conversion by Alfons Amich is missed, though. | |
11 | Ensagens RC are just tearing the El Tyco Fire defence apart here! It's almost as if there's only one team on the pitch as the ball goes from Iu Hom to Jacob Terribas to Karl Lévêque before ending up in the possession of Semen Şterngas, who runs over the line unopposed for 5 points. |                                                   |

Benjamin Whittaker passes, but the ball doesn't go to hand! That was a good scoring opportunity too. There were huge gaps in the defence there. |                                                   |
8 | Ensagens RC have retained possession as their players were quick and picked up the loose ball. They'll be able to attack again | |

2 | Good lineout for El Tyco Fire. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Andre Rasper wins the ball in the air. | |
1 | Wilson Robinet thinks he sees a gap, but Daniel Chéron is ready for him and brings him down. |                                                   |
0 | Alfons Amich takes the kickoff. Wilson Robinet takes the ball in the air right in front of Florentin Albisser, who wasn't aggressive enough. |                                                   |
15:56 | The players are coming out onto the water-logged pitch and the rain is still coming down. I can see El Tyco Fire's manager trying to pull his shoe out of the mud. That'll teach him to wear his best clothes to a rugby match! |
