80	And that's it from here! Perpignan deserved winners, but there will be a score to settle when they come back to Franklin's GArdens in January, what a game that could be! Cheers from the south of France!
78	It's all very scrappy here now as the result is clear and bonus points become more and more unlikely. Crowd is singing for a job well done.
75	Break by Ashton down the right, but well-tackled by Candelon and then an offside at the scrum... far too many penalties for Northampton this half.
74	Super clearance by FLorian Cazenave from the scrum. Perpignan closing out the game here...
73	Clever chip by Geraghty, Ashton on the end of it, Sainst build again, Tongahuia busting down the right. Out it goes left to Reihana... but he's spilled it.
70	Over it goes! 29-13, PENALTY PERPIGNAN!
69	Good break by Mermoz, but his offload goes to ground and Geraghty counters. But then Dickson is caught in possession... and then talks back to the referee, costing his side 10m and giving Porical a chance to make it 29-13 and bury it.
67	Another warning from Owens, this one to Kruger, a card must come the next time.
66	Tuilagi now, Hartley could be penalised here... he is. Perpignan now have a chance to bury it... Porical will go for posts. PENALTY PERPIGNAN, 26-13!
65	Perpignan building momentum again, Mermoz stepping. Candelon drives on - he's a ball of energy, and this is a great drive here. Schuster takes it on, 6m out under the posts. Slow ball though. Kairelis on. Now Sid at scrum-half. 4m...
64	Porical hoists a bomb... not as open from the hosts this half. Foden tries to counter but it comes to little. Interesting exchange between Mujati and Owens, the referee was pushed out of the way and warns Mujati not to do it again.
62	Still lots of pushing and shoving and now referee Owens has a word with the captains. Lots of edge here, Dowson is furious abotu something.
59	Marius Tincu comes on... Tincu opposite Hartley? That should spice things up...
57	A chip by Geraghty causes panic in Perpignan's defence and Northampton take it, spread it wide to Best, dragged down 5m short. Back it comes left to Dowson, also stopped just short. Big pressure here... but another penalty to Perpignan relieves the pressure.
55	Freshwater off with an arm injury as the game goes slowly off the boil. Clearance by Laharrague, returned by Foden who is monstered by Tuilagi - wow, what a hit!
53	Saints steal a Perpignan line-out, and Geraghty find a gap on a loop. Back it comes, but Hartley drops the ball.
51	No problem with this one! PENALTY PERPIGNAN! 23-13!
50	A truly asinine penalty given away by Lawes at the 22 drop out and Porical has another chance.
49	It just goes to the right.
48	Saints getting some good ball for the first time this game and buildng momentum, but then Kruger goes off his feet. Porical might fancy this with the wind, just inside his own half.
46	Geraghty pushes the extras right - that could hurt the visitors.
45	Wide it goes, Mermoz nearly there as more confusion under a chip kick from Foden. But turnover, and Foden breaks, lovely hands from Clarke and Ashton, 5m short, out to Tongahuia, to Mujati, it's there! A breakout! TRY NORTHAMPTON!
44	Super Northampton scrum and Geraghty clears, only to just outside the 22.
42	Good driven maul, out it comes, great hands in the backs from Candelon and Marty, back left now, men over... a forward pass to Perez, that looked very marginal!
41	SECOND HALF: Mujati on for Bonorino as the Saints look to shore up the scrum and turn into the wind. Laharrague puts up a big kick as Geraghty misses a touch, and confusion between Foden and Dowson and Perpignan get a line-out inside the Saints 22.
40	Bit of chaos here as the clock ticks over 40, but Nigel Owens insists we still have a minute. As Perpignan try to reset, Bonorino gives Mas a meaty shove and concedes a penalty. Perpignan go for touch... good one found. Great line-out to Britz and a good drive, but it breaks down and Guirado runs to touch. Half-time, Perpignan well in control, another score and it's theirs. See you in ten!
38	Good counter-rucking from Dowson slows Perpignan ball down, Britz rescues. Laharrague gets it and chips... and recovers! Slips one tackle, brilliant offload! Marty away for a fabulous try! TRY PERPIGNAN! Under the posts, and Porical makes it 20-8!
36	Seven phases for perpignan here, up to Northampton's 22. Great stuff, Guirado on, ten phases... but a wild long pass from the base of the ruck and Northampton recover it.
35	Dickson offside at the perpignan scrum, but well behind Owens' vision and he disrupts Durand almost enough to turn the ball over.
34	Candelon is munched by Lawes, but somehow gets to his feet - bounces is a better word - and Perpignan clear.
33	Good scrum from Perpignan... but this time Freshwater is penalised for taking it down.
32	Good hands across the pitch from Perpignan again, saide to side, gaps opening up now, Candelon goes, offloads to Guirado, but it's just forward...
30	Penalty Perpignan at the restart for Tongahuia coming in at the side, and Porical puts to touch - noticeable that the home team is against a stiff breeze this half.
27	Geraghty misses the extras.
26	Porical gets back and clear the lines. Geraghty has a go at the line from the line-out, back it comes right to Ashton in space, Ashton chips, a good bounce and Ashton scores! TRY NORTHAMPTON! 13-8!
24	Laharrague puts up a high kick but it is blown back in the wind and NOrthampton get some good position. Durand drops now, and Northampton have pressure on the Perpignan line!
22	Geraghty knocks it over. PENALTY NORTHAMPTON! 10-3!
21	Northampton enjoy a little more luck this time as Poical clices a clearance and win a penalty at a line-out for not rolling away.
18	This scrum has popped up and this time Owens goes under the posts! TRY PERPGNAN! 10-0 with Porical's conversion.
17	Another scrum, another collapse, surely the patience is getting thin here? Bonorino is getting a working over from Freshwater. Now another collapse and a penalty, again Bonorino, and he's being warned... a penalty try looms large.
16	Scrum reset, the next one is driven again... inching to the line, Durand to Laharrague, over the line... but it's held up!
15	What a scrum from the Catalans, and it's brought down for a penalty, which will be scrummed again, maybe a penalty try here...
14	Tuilagi charges on to a metre out! Big ruck, more pushng and shoving, Perpignan get a scrum. Saints under huge pressure here.
12	Tuilagi at the back of the scrum, offload to Durand, who wriggles to 2m out. Out it comes, Perez takes in and Perpignan win a penalty for hands in. Now they may go for the corner. Hartley is furious, he feels he was gouged, and says so quite explicitly to referee Owens, earning himself a ticking off.
11	HUGE scrum from the home side, they've won a turnover at the set piece, 10m out, what a start by them!
10	Chip by Durand, taken on the fly by Sid, offloaded, spread across the park, brilliant stuff, Candelon, to Perez inside oohhhh nooooo, Perez spills it with the line gaping!
8	KNocked on by the Saints at the restart.
7	... Porical, not Laharrague... but either way, it's over! PENALTY PERPIGNAN, 3-0!
6	Loose ball from the Saints line-out now and a chance for Marty, nearly going to the line. A penalty now for going in the side and Perpignan debate a line-out, but Laharrague will go for posts...
5	Box kick from Dickson charged down by Alvarez Kairelis... Saints under early pressure.
4	Good spell of possession from the line-out for Perpignan, side to side, now Laharrague chips and it's into touch in the Saints 22.
2	perpignan win a penalty for holding on in the tackle, excellent defence from the Catlans and the crowd begins the chants.
1	Great kick-off from Geraghty earns the visitors a line-out near the Catalan line. Big drive now, but an even better counter drive from the home side.
0	Welcome to a jumping Stade Aime Giral for Perpignan's clash with Northampton, in a pool that could conceivably end with all teams on one win and one defeat after this weekend. That all depends on the locals puttng on a show here tonight against the resurgent Northampton. But they've got the atmosphere they wanted, they're at home, it's all set for them. This could be epic! Teams about to enter the fray...
