Theres the full time whistle at the Stade Aime Giral, as the home side Perpignan have run out eventual winners. The 11 point winning margin will flatter them somewhat, as the visitors were well in this game through a combination of of determined play, and constant indiscipline from both sides which eventually turned this game into an error strewn dog fight. An important win for Perpignn, as they move into the play off positions for the first time his season. From all of us at Ultimate Rugby, thanks for following.

Bordeaux discipline really letting them down now. Another penalty conceded at the break down, allowing hook clear to touch and relieve the mounting pressure.

Talebula with a storming run from his own half brings paly into the Perpignan half. At the break down, Perpignan go off their feet, and are penalised. Sanchez knocks the penalty over, to bring his side within seven.

Bordeaux claim the lineout but knock on in mid field. Mjekevu hacks the ball on and it rolls into touch just outside the Bordeaux ten.

Talebula runs the ball from deep, and the Perpignan defence is pinged for not releasing the tackled player. Bernard clears long.

Bordeaux on the attack, Bernard puts in a needless kick which is returned with interest by Hook.

TRY BORDEAUX! Talebula makes the most of the extra man, calling for the ball out wide, and coasting in from 20 metres to score his second of the night. The conversion from Bernard hits the upright.

Guitone, the try scorer, is binned for deliberately knocking a chip from Talebula into touch, when it looked as though the Bordeaux winger was in to score a try.

TRY PERPIGNAN! Try out of nothing for the home side, Durand puts in a nice chip for Guitone to chase, he latches on to it and waltzes to the line unopposed. Hook ads the extras

From the lineout Perpignan move it wide, Hook chips in behind but the Bordeaux defence scrambles well to recover the ball and clear to just outside their own 22.
