Vuidravuwalu gets his second try of the game. Bosman does very well to beat a couple of defenders before being brought down deep inside Bordeauxs 22, but the ball is recycled well and goes wide quickly to Vuidravuwalu who scores in the corner

Connor appears to be in after chasing a kick through by Bernard but just loses control of the ball at the last second

Try Stade. Bordeaux win the Lo and clear but Stade counter well. Off the second phase Pyle takes the nall to the gain line and offloads to Arias who sprints in in the corner

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

Another great kick to touch from Plisson. Maynadier first throw will be under severe pressure

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

Maybe not as at the next scrum the Bordeaux pack are penalised. The referee must be tempted to bring out the yellow card at this stage

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

First scrum of the half with the new Bordeaux front row and they win a penalty. Is that a turning point?

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

With the last kick of the half Dupuy gives his side a 2 point lead. This has been a highly contested game so far but Stade probably do deserve a slight lead. The Stade scrum is in complete control and giving their side the upper hand but the fast pace that Bordeaux are bringing to this game is causing the home side a lot of problems. All still to play for in the second half

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

Bordeaux go through a couple of phases in the Stade 22 but are going nowhere so Bernard attempts a drop at goal but it sails wide

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

Domvo is having a stormer at the back, controlling everything that is coming his way meaning that Stade are struggling to get much territory

Ultimate Rugby Nov 11

Great kick to touch from Plisson but like many times before Domvo plays it quick and clears his lines
