THE PREDICTION
Castres were shocked at home by then second-from-bottom Brive as the visitors stole away with four points after a 24-25 victory. Despite scoring two more tries than their opponents, the home side were sloppy in conceding 18 points to penalties and were leapfrogged by Brive. Now second-from-bottom themselves, Castres will have to remedy a poor streak of form that has seen them lose both their opening matches in the Challenge Cup this month too. Their only hope is that visiting Bayonne are also smarting from their Challenge Cup campaign too, where they lost to Leicester Tigers and drew away at lowly Zebre, but the away side have looked the better team over recent performances. They beat Toulon this time last month and were competitive in defeat to Toulouse earlier this month too. Bayonne score big and concede poorly and that gung-ho approach should see an away win in a match that goes over 40 points.
