Blimey, a high kick from Catalans on the last tackle bounces off the back of a startled Josh Drinkwater.

Eyes up, lad!

Tell you what, it's an entertaining first half so far! Catalans lead but Hull KR keep pushing.

What on earth?! Fouad Yaha goes over in open space at the left corner and looks cool as a cucumber at first, however referee James Child isn't interested.

He chalks it off due to a forward pass in the build up. Much as Hull KR probably should have had Yaha picked out, that is clumsy stuff from Catalans Dragons.

The BBC Weather app tells me it's 17 degrees celcius and a warm, sticky evening in Perpignan tonight.

Both sides are breaking a sweat at the minute and both sides also look vulnerable when they're not in possession.

It's a great game for the neutral, but how are your nerves, Hull KR fans?

There's probably been three or four chances. With a bit more composure, a bit more execution they could have had some points. At some stage they're going to have to start taking these chances.

The answer to whether Hull KR can capitalise on Jordan Abdull's 40-20 is no, as they knock on no sooner do they get going for a set of six.

There's an eagerness about KR this evening, but it's not paying off so far. Plenty of time yet, though.

What a waste! Josh Drinkwater offloads on the last tackle as Catalans overwhelm Hull KR and race to the corner.

But no one's on the end of it and it's thrown into space and Hull KR regain possession.

Then, more drama, as Jordan Abdull kicks an absolute monster 40-20.

Can KR capitalise?

Blimey, another high kick from Hull KR has Arthur Mourgue fooled as he ducks the catch.

That's two that the stand-in Catalans full-back has missed tonight.

You've just got to get those things right in big games. This is a big game for Hull KR and they've got to get the details right when it matters.

Hull KR are beginning to threaten now and is there a hint of nervousness about the Catalans Dragons, now?

The hosts struggle to close down KR as they drive upfield but Tom Davies puts the pressure on before the ball is kicked dead on the last.

Hull KR aren't sitting back after that early try to the Dragons.

Well then, what have Hull KR got in response to that try? Last week they dominated against a Warrington side who committed a fair few errors.

On the other hand, Catalans look well up for this and have kept pressing after the restart.

It's shaping up to be a cracking game, this.

Video referee Tom Grant takes a look at it after referee James Child initially says no try.

It's chalked off for a double movement and Arthur Mourgue's effort is ruled out.

There's a break in play as James Maloney receives some attention after a robust tackle as Catalans take their turn to drive to the line.

He's cleared to play on as the hosts look to get a foothold in this game and Arthur Mourgue looks to make an immediate impact as he stumbles over the line but it's being taken upstairs.

I don't think he's got this down in time.

Kane Linnett is held up on the third tackle as Hull KR try to drive an upset early try.

The visitors keep going but Jez Litten loses possession soon after, much to the joy of the Catalans support.

Arthur Mourgue, who is doing the unenviable job of filling in for the injured Sam Tomkins tonight, commits the first error of the evening as he drops a crossfield Hull KR kick.

The visitors win another set of six within 20 metres of the Catalans line and soon after the hosts concede a penalty for a high shot but KR opt to drive to the try-line instead of kicking for two.

We are under way and my word what an atmosphere!

It's a full house at Stade Gilbert Brutus and the home fans are fired up for this.

As ever, it's not just me rambling on, you know.

At the top of this page there's an array of radio links for your perusal, with the good folks at BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio 5 Live on hand to provide live commentary.

Unfortunately BBC Radio Perpignan isn't available because that's not a real radio station..

The players are out at Stade Gilbert Brutus in front of a bumper crowd in the south of France.

Meanwhile in the UK, thousands have gathered to watch the game at Craven Park.

A big game feel on both sides of the English Channel.
