First Bordeaux lineout of the game and Bath win it against the head

Bath hold up a Bordeaux maul and force the turnover

3 penalties in quick succession against Bath. They will need to be careful

James barges through to the half way line but then Houston comes in to the ruck from the side.

Bath try to counter attack but Watson knocks on after a long pass by Rokoduguni. Bath are then penalised at the scrum and Saubusse will have a kick at goal right in front of the posts

Bath spread the ball wide off the back of the scrum and Watson finds acres of space. All he has to do is straighten his line and sprint through. He then passes inside to Biggs who dives over the line. Awful defensive alignment from the Bordeaux backline.

Lilomaiava knocks on while chasing the restart so we'll have our first scrum of the match

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of tonight’s Amlin Challenge Cup match between Bath and Bordeaux-Begles. With the group and a place in the quarter final already secured, Bath have still decided to name a strong side in an effort to be one of the high seeds for the quarter final and to also preserve their unbeaten home record. When these sides meet earlier on in the group Bath won by 15 points to 9 so with that in mind and the fact that Bordeaux are playing for nothing but pride this should be a comfortable home win for Bath.
