Castres were crowned 2018 Top 14 champions after defeating Montpellier in the final

Castres stunned Montpellier to claim a surprise 29‑13 victory in the Top 14 final at the Stade de France.

Montpellier came into the meeting as strong favourites, having finished top of the table at the end of the regular season.

Montpellier were desperate to end the club’s wait for a Top 14 title, having lost the 2011 final, but their agonising drought goes on while Castres were left to celebrate a fifth crown – and their second in six years.
