Urdapilleta’ 16-point haul not enough for Castres

16 points from Benjamín Urdapilleta were not enough for Castres. The south-western French side were at home against Stade Français. The Argentine no 10 scored all points for his side who were beaten 22-16 by the Parisians.

Urdapilleta was joined by Canadian captain Tyler Ardron. Both RWC 2019 players started the match for Castres. The opposition featured three Pumas with Urdapilleta playing opposite Nicolás Sánchez. Pablo Matera and Marcos Kremer were the flankers.

The 16 points cam in the form of a converted try and three penalties. Urdapilleta’s try saw him darting over to get past an attempted tackle from Kremer.
