French flair to your left, the South African machine to your right. Larrague finds a gap opening up and now looking for help from Vermeulen. The pass inside is excellent from Gavadrosa and this is Dorian Petitjean for France and they're back in the lead, they extend the lead in fact. Larrague gets his underway once more and it's taken straight away from Gaspard Larrague, inside the 22 they come and here come the French once again, this is Romain Dallampal, just three metres short, the French smelling blood, they're sniffing it out and perhaps now is Simon Larrague.
