Stade Francais put on a masterclass

Calvisano 10 Stade Francais 45

Stade Francais crushed Calvisano as they hit the ground running in their Heineken Cup opener today.

The bonus points were wrapped up as early as the 47th minute following tries from Geoffroy Messina, Julien Arias, Ignacio Corleto and Mauro Bergamasco.

Calvisano were briefly level when Andrea Scanavacca cancelled out David Skrela's penalty but they soon folded and further scores from replacement Radike Samo and Julien Saubade followed David Dal Maso's solitary touchdown for the home side.
