Late Kockott penalty earns Castres victory
By Omnisport
Rory Kockott's 79th-minute penalty ensured reigning Top 14 champions Castres made it two wins from two in the new season as they beat Lyon 19-16.
Lyon held a 16-3 advantage at the break before Castres staged a fightback.
Thomas Combezou's two tries at the start of the second half brought Castres level and Kockott kept his cool at the end to boot over the winning points with a 40-metre penalty.
Of those who have played two games, Stade Francais are the only other team to have won both matches as they secured a 20-8 home success over Bordeaux-Begles.
They too were behind at the break as their opponents led 8-6 before Waisea Nayacalevu and Kylan Hamdaoui crossed in the second period.
Grenoble have lost both of their first two fixtures as Toulouse secured a 23-20 success, with Thomas Ramos kicking three penalties and converting each of his team's two tries.
Montpellier ran in four tries in a 36-14 triumph over La Rochelle while Colin Slade kicked four penalties in Pau's 20-10 success over Toulon.

Should've been player of the year, but World Rugby and their stupid rules...
Go to commentsCongrats Scotland. Hope you enjoyed the training drill.
Seriously pathetic Oz.
Either Oz were on the take to lose with some great odds OR
the had had their big end of tour party the night before OR
they all would rather be fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Seriously it was barely low impact training defence.
SO BAD I would have it investigated for gambling influence. Serious.
I've never seen such powder puff soft effort in defence... at ANY level, including junior level. If players aren't sacked Schmidt ain't serious.
Woeful Wallabies is not a condemning enough term.
