1st – BORDEAUX-BEGLES TRY: Lebel is under pressure in his 22 meters after recovering a kick from Penaud. The Bordelais seize the ball, Lucu quickly transmits it to Moefana, unmarked on the right wing, who rushes towards the in-goal to score in a corner!
20th – BORDEAUX-BEGLES TRY: While the Toulouse defense is concentrated in the axis, Jalibert spots a space on the left and makes a lobbed pass for his third line Tatafu, who manages to score in the left corner for the second try from UBB!
23rd – BORDEAUX-BEGLES TEST: It’s a festival! On a devastating counter-attack, Lucu spots his unmarked winger on the right and delivers a high kick. Penaud takes the advantage over Lebel in the race. He pushes the ball with his foot, benefits from a favorable rebound and flattens the third try of the match, once again from Bordeaux. What a start to the match for the locals!
31st – TOULOUSE TEST: After an interception by Damien Penaud and his catastrophic clearance in the middle, the Toulouse team pushed and scored their first try thanks to Jack Willis.
40th – BORDEAUX-BEGLES TRY: Lucu seems to lose control of the ball but passes it to Jalibert by diving. The Bordeaux opener recovers this ball and transmits it in his race to Buros, who chooses to go alone and concludes this great Bordeaux action.
52nd – TOULOUSE TEST: Pita Ahki allows Toulouse to come back after a thorough shelling a few meters from the line. Excellent work from the Toulouse forwards on this action.
60th – TOULOUSE TRY: Dupont dodges Penaud’s tackle and goes around the defense to the left by accelerating, then he makes a magnificent chistera for his winger, who takes advantage of the space created and goes to score the third try for Toulouse.
63rd – TOULOUSE TEST: After a short kick to follow from Costes, Lebel makes an improbable little bridge to the foot on Romain Buros and can go and flatten himself.
69th – BORDEAUX-BEGLES TEST: The 3/4 Bordeaux players navigate the ball well to the right wing where Bochaton, in the corner, avoids the touchline and allows the locals to get back in front.
