And there goes the final whistle, as Bordeaux run out comfortable winners in the end by an imoressive scoreline. Having been fancied going into this one Stade will be disappointed by the manner in which they were defeated, albeit without a host of internationals who may have made a difference. Take nothing away from the Bordeaux performance however, as they put in an immensely physical first forty to take the game away from the visitors. Thanks for following here on Ultimate rugby, see you next time.

10 minutes to go, this game has become a flat affair, the result having been decided long ago. Stade on the attack, but look unlikely to score any time soon.
The Stade comback looks to have been short lived, as Bordeuax are back on the attack deep in Stade territroy.
Julien Rey carded for slowing the ball down, but despite the man advantage Stade cant break the Bordeaux line. The home side eventually turns the ball over, and Bernard clears to half way
Stade still on the attack, but Bordeaux looking solid in defence.
Stade mounting some what of a comeback, camped in the Bordeaux line but cannot burst through
TRY BORDEAUX! This game looks like its over, as the home side crosses for a fifth try of the day. Nice rolling maul from a well worked line out sees Bordeaux over the line, and the ever reliable Bernard adds the extras.
Bonneval with a great clearing kick gets the ball into Bordeaux teerritory.
Bordeaux secure LO ball in Stade territory, but a big Cempere hit turns the ball over.
