FULLTIME! Romain Poite blows the whistle for full time here at the Stade Jean Dauger, Bordeaux hold on in the final play of the game and keep Bayonne out to get the win. After a great start to the game Bordeaux went in at the half way mark leading by 10 points. A strong second half performance from Bayonne which saw them score two tries in quick succession to get within one point was just not enough in the end as the only get the loosing bonus point. Bayonne still sit 5 points from the drop zone and will need to improve on their performances if the want to stay in the TOP 14 next season. Bordeaux are currently safe as long as they can win a one or two more games.
