Perpignan upset Stade Francais at home in Paris
It's what makes the Top 14 so great to watch, as while other tournaments around the world struggle with attendances, the French continue to get out there and support their sides by the masses. This match had 77 000 people in attendance at the Stade De France.
Perpignan upset hosts Stade Francais 20-14, with great tries by Maxime Mermoz and Jerome Porical, who got a personal tally of 15 points. This was despite the home side scoring first through a nice move and try to Hugo Southwell.
In the second half the lead changed hands a few time, as Julien Dupuy kept his side in the match with two penalties, but Porical came back and landed the killer blow with his second try after great lead up play by Henry Tuilagi and Florian Cazenave .
Stade did however pick up a bonus point, and had a great chance at snatching the win near the end, but they unfortunately dropped the ball after a promising attack contributed to a tense finish.

Looks like a good show for the crowd.
Stade have slipped off the pace a bit this year though!

That last tackle was high, should have been a penulty, dupuy was furious! and why was the english guy calling him dupu?

indeed it seemed like a very nice game all the way untill the end.
But i believe Stade Francais have reasons to be upset about the referee in the last minut...
definitly high tackle IMO...

Oh and that english guy has no idea whatsoever how french names are pronounced AND thinks the perpignan 9 is Durand whereas it was young Florian Cazenave...
Great professionalism there mate

normally dont criticise - but crap defence here all over the place
at 3 minutes - the 8 ( who is quoted as Tuilangi ) is on the ground and should have released - but is allowed to throw leading to a try

anyone understand what dupuy is shouting at the ref at the end of the match?nothing too nice,i'd say!
Greiffel October 30, 2009 4:25 pm
Yeah Olli, he got a few players names wrong. That wasn't Oelschig at the end either.
And Jamestheconvict, you normally dont criticise? :)

Cazenave was very impressive I thought being that young... (and yes the commentator made the error but they kinda look alike).
Poor defense on the fringe from Gasnier, he's learned a lot but has yet to improve on all the aspects in XV rugby...

wasnt a defensive kick from beauxis but from southwell dude
Oli October 30, 2009 4:34 pm
@ jamestheconvict bringing the good old bad defense pointless debate.
Those are highlights that only show tries, and tries don't happen when the defense does its job well.
You could say that about all the highlights and tries compilations on that site...
And please don't start saying you never criticise and then say crap like that!

As far as domestic leagues are concered, France and RSA will bear the flags for years to come.

who on earth is depoo? of course its dupuy but he calls him depoo one moment and then 10 seconds later pronounces it right. idiot
falafel October 30, 2009 5:33 pm
Dupuy better check himself; you can't get in the ref's face and shout like that. Lucky for him the match was over, or I'd expect he'd be penalized for that silly crap. This ain't football, my friend.

First two tries are forward passes. Well played Perp though.

77,000 ppl for a club game. V impressive. No wonder they don't bother tooo much about the H Cup.
Anonymous October 31, 2009 1:18 am
they only get 77000 at a match because they give the tickets away cheaply, stade and alot of other french clubs are in massive debt, so to say that there its was like a world cup final? if any club spent the amount that they've spent in recent years well they'd have the same attendence!

porical deserve in french team against south africa.

"they only get 77000 at a match because they give the tickets away cheaply" - on the day, the cheapest was 25. It was my first time in the Stade de France, and I have to say it was an amazing spectacle - great rugby and the sideshows (dancers, fireworks) make it great value and entertainment for everyone.
Perpignan's defense was extremely impressive.

Can anyone explain to me why the player who scores at aound 2.20 is not offside when he receives the ball?
Boyo October 31, 2009 10:30 pm
Played onside when the man who received the kick ran (just) ahead of him.

Greiffel and Oli - i think you misunderstand
i like the Top 14 - its normally great - but that defense was shite and you know it - SF looked like they didnt care

Nice game indeed.
Many good things about that show for french rugby : I'm talking about their "fond de jeu", of course.
(We should all be talking about that).
To Falafel :
Concerning "Dupuy's shout" : He shouts, that's right. But he is not saynig any wrong about the ref. Just telling him (quite high) he's not agree with his decision : (saying) "not right, not right, they should be penelized". So what ? What's wrong, considering the moment and the meanning of the game. (La belle affaire ! ).
Learn more about football and, perhaps, rugby will be your new ground.
