The 80 minutes and dust disputed this Sunday, May 4 on the lawn of the Matmut Atlantique stadium ended up delivering their truth: the players of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) will compete for their first European final on May 24 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Faced with Toulousains supporters of the title but deprived of several of their executives (Antoine Dupont, Thomas Ramos, Peato Mauvaka), the men of Yannick Bru have attacked the side of the side, with a first test inscribed at the end of a counter-attack by the Australian Pete Samu.
Toulouse, in difficulty in the rucks, clings, returns to the front, before being punished by a test of the twirling Louis Bielle-Biarrey. At the break, the Bordelais lead 18-11, a score brought to 25-11 as soon as the locker room returns after an express ball of the same “LBB”. The time of play is coming up, and Toulouse presses the accelerator. But the UBB holds the shock and ends up going into the fifth time.
Final score: 35-18. In three weeks, the Bordeauxes will challenge the English of Northampton in an unprecedented final, who dropped Leinster on Saturday.
