Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Full time at the State Matmut and its the hosts that take a fully deserved victory. Bonrepaux earns himself a yellow card in the dying moments to put a slightly sour note on the win but the Lyon management will be delighted none the less. Tries from Loursac, Bonnefond and Januarie the ultimate deciding factor in what was an entertaining contest! Thanks for following on UR, please tune in again soon for some more live rugby coverage!
