Bordeaux v Saints | Key Moments

Bordeaux destroyed the team they played in the final last season and put together a dominant performance. Up until early in the second half there was still an opportunity for the visitors to get back into the clash. We highlight the key moments from the game that swung the momentum

1’ Handling Errors from Saints:

The visitors lose 40+ meters after two handling errors after enjoying some good territory early on from the kick off. 

4’ Pollock strips du Preez:

Following the early pressure from Saints, UBB reversed things thanks to the handling errors and were 5m out making meters when Pollock rips the ball out of du Preez’s hands

7’ Bounce pass breaks Saints:

Strong UBB scrum gave them advantage 5m out and Page-Relo throws a pass while being held up, it bounces forcing Hendy to go for the ball and Rayasi collects it and scoots past the 15 and scores

10’ Henry Pollock!

Belleau spots a man wide and puts in a kick pass, the man is Pollock and he catches the kick pass and drops it straight away onto his own foot for a chip ahead. He fights for the ball in a 50/50 while on the run and wins it and puts in a dive and trademark pulse check as the crowd boo’s Public Enemy #1

20’ Iyogun Power:

After Saints conceded 6 scrum penalties and a yellow card, Ioyogun comes on and sores up the scrum winning a penalty deep in their own 22. Sadly UBB steal the resulting line out and Rayasi scores his second try of the game.

26’ Hutchinson yellow carded:

Bielle-Biarrey flies out of his own 22 and Saints see warning lights, Hutchinson is the last man and LBB kicks ahead and is hit late. Saints manage to further fend off the hosts after they still managed to collect the ball under penalty advantage.

36’ Beautiful Chaos:

Saints fluff their 5m attacking line out as UBB steal it, they go all the way after a kick long gets turned over and finished with Penaud playing Woki out wide with a late switch.

42’ Rayasi scores his hat trick try:




Rayasi gets the ball from Penaud with a staggered kick chase coming their way, he spots a gap, then another and speeds off 40+ meters to bag his third of the game
