Full time in this exhilarating game at the Stade Jean-Bouin and Stade have won 39-22. This game was non-stop since the opening minute with both sides willing to play fast paced rugby but in the end it was the extra power that Stade could offer which gave them the edge. The 4th try in the last play of the game gave the home side the extra bonus point which they deserved but credit to Bordeaux, and to Bernard who scored all 22 of his sides points, for making this a spectacle.
Tuifua fumbles the ball and rather than kicking the ball out Stade go looking for a try to get the offensive bonus point and they get it. Again Pyle is influential in creating the try with a powerful charge which frees up the space for Zhvania to fall over the line
Stade turn the ball over and Vuidravuwalu breaks upfield but is tackled well and now Bordeaux have turned the ball back over. The siren has gone but the away side attack in search of that losing bonus point
Bordeaux have won a penalty and now bring the play into Stades 22 with less than 4 minutes on the clock
Bordeaux hit back right away as Bernard scores under the posts after some good link up play between Lacroix and Adams. With the win still out of reach Bordeaux will look for another try to gain them the losing bonus point
Plisson nails a drop goal from 45m to extend Stades lead to 17 and surely wraps the game up
Great defensive effort from the home side as they eventually get the turnover
Bordeaux have had a period of possession a couple of metres out from the Stade line but the Stade defence have held out so far.
Bordeaux go quick from a penalty and Talebula makes some good yards before being tackled into touch outside Stades 22
Brilliant break from Arias brings play back into Bordeaux territory
