Ultimate Rugby Apr 4

Lyon with an upset win over Castres tonight. It was a scrappy game of rugby, by no means the most beautiful game you will see this weekend. Lyon slugged it out though and will be very happy with their victory. Castres only had themselves to blame. They were woeful af lineout time, and their ball handling was way below average. In addition, their discipline let them down as the copped two yellow cards for unnecessary foul play. As much as Lyon deserved to win, Castres' performance was deserving of nothing more than a loss. Thank you for joining us here at Ultimate Rugby and enjoy the rest of the Rugby this weekend.
