From the yellow card, Hook nails the resulting penalty, narrowing the deficit to just 3.

With Perpignan not really going anywhere in attack, Chalmers is penalised for a high tackle on Jgenti. After a lengthy consultation with the T.M.O, Chalmers is given a yellow card.

Good response to going behind from Perpignan, currently in possession in the Bordeaux 22. Bordeaux defence is solid though.

TRY BORDEAUX! Rampaging run from Juandre Marais brings play to the Perpignan line, where Julian Rey takes a great line off scrumhalf Heinie Adams to crash over. Bernard adds the extras with his first successful kick of the day.

Searching kick from Bernard rolls in touch inside the Perpignan five, Guitone goes quick and Perpignan clear. But Bordeaux attack straight back, Talebula being released down the line, looking likely to score when Guitone puts in a last ditch challenge to knock the ball loose.

No problems for Hook from the tee, giving his side the lead in the process.

Perpignan lose the lineout, but the ball squirts free and is hacked on by Perez. Piukala gets his hands on it and carries to the Bordeaux 22. He is hauled down, but the Bordeaux defence is pinged for hands in the ruck. Penalty to come.

Bit of a lull in the game after the frantic start, the scrumtime mess is effecting the games flow. Again another scrum breaks down and the ref awards Perpignan the penalty this time. Hook clears to half way.

Again the scrum is messy, but Bordeaux manage to get the ball wide. The ball is then held up in contact and the Catalan pack force the turnover. Hook steps up and clears to half way, lineout Perpignan to come.

Perpignan claim the restart and clear to halfway, Bernard sends another high ball into the Perpignan defence, which is again knocked on. Scrum to come on the Perpignan 22.
