What a blistering 80 minutes of rugby! Bordeaux Begles emerge as eventual victors in what was a hotly contested Round 5 clash. A thrilling game for spectators as the aerial game was often replaced by excellent offloading in the tackle.
Delight for the home side who, despite squandering an early lead, took full advantage of the extra man in the last 10 minutes to safely distance them from the visitors. Bitter disappointment for the visitors as a rather harsh sin-binning of talisman Hooley caused an exhausted Chiefs defence to stretch even further.
The victory for Bordeaux now means that they can mathematically top the group, alongside opposition Chiefs. It will certainly make for a highly exciting final round in this pool.
