Heineken Cup: Stade begin fightback

Stade Francais 11, Munster 16 (latest)

Stade Francais, with the wind at their backs, have begun to dig into Munster's lead in the second half of their semi-final clash in Paris.

Christophe Juillet went over for a Stade try on 46 minutes and Diego Dominguez scored a penalty 10 minutes later to leave Stade within five points of Munster.

Munster had a half-time lead of 13 points - Ronan O’Gara opened the scoring with a penalty on five minutes.

Anthony Horgan went over the line to score the opening try on 18 minutes, which O'Gara duly converted to add to his earlier penalty.

The Irish outhalf then added to this tally with a drop-goal on 24 minutes and again just before the break with another penalty.

Diego Dominguez put over Stade's only points of the half on 22 mins.
