WATCH | Bok No 9 Cobus Reinach makes try-scoring return for Montpellier

Springbok scrumhalf Cobus Reinach scored in his first league game back from a shoulder operation on Saturday but Montpellier lost 26-13 at Castres in a re-run of last season's French Top 14 final.

Reinach, 32, who suffered the injury in April but played once for the Boks last month, crossed in the first half before being replaced with half an hour to play.

The hosts, last season's runners-up, moved up to fifth in the table with a third win from six games so far this term and a club record 14th straight home victory.

Rugby World Cup winner Reinach was one of 12 changes made by Montpellier head coach Philippe Saint-Andre after last weekend's home loss to Toulouse.
