The UBB won its first semi-final of Champions Cup in its history by overcoming the Toulouse stadium. The men of Yannick Bru have forced their destiny thanks to the talents of their three-quarters, but especially because of the valor of their forwards.
The Bordeaux-Bègles Union does not count Thomas Pesquet among its supporters but it has in its ranks its Louis Bielle-Biarrey rocket to conquer the stars. The UBB can dream of winning a first on May 24, in Cardiff, after having spread the Toulousain stadium from its route, which came to the Atlantic Matmut to defend its title. The international winger, already the author of an essay in the first period, still achieved a capital feat on the start of a second act, going up all the ground after a putting in his corridor by a Matthieu Jalibert Inspirated, before a precious relay of Pete Samu.

Bordeaux-Bègles has a lot to do with it, carried by forecasts on mission to fight a fierce battle on the ground and thus prevent the Haut-Garonnais game from taking volume, with the firm intention of not stretching the other plays even in opposing highlights. The men of Yannick Bru have learned lessons from the past, whether it be the sinking of Marseille and even their last success in the Atlantic Matmut in March in Top 14, when they suffered to preserve their success despite a comfortable advance after forty minutes.
This time, they had not scored as much during the first period, despite their ease of gaining ground on each game launch, with a conductor at the top of his art to play the spaces but also precise in his game at the foot of the occupation. The LBB masterpiece came to finally rectify this accounting anomaly with regard to the domination of Girondin forwards. “”I’m talking about Matthew, telling her to type (laughs). He plays well because I am shifted in the corridor and afterwards, Pete cheek very well with a really magical pass but we wanted to make a big start so as not to let them hope “simply smiled at the new darling of French rugby.

It was without counting on the alchemist Matthieu Jalibert, capable of transforming this little crumb into a golden nugget with a penalouche at five meters which ended with a test by Pierre Bochaton while the meeting was about to switch. The Bordeaux refused the defeat. They even multiplied to write one of the most beautiful pages in the history of their young club to gain the right to enter the legendary Cardiff stadium and thus play a second final in less than a year. “The club continues to learn, to evolve, analyzed Maxime Lamothe, one of the children of the UBB. I am very proud to be part of this project, with a fantastic group that learns from its mistakes. ”
The Girondin hooker must certainly think of this defeat against La Rochelle before this semi-final but also at the day-to-date appointment. This was also the case with Louis Bielle-Biarrey: “No one was waiting for this poster in the final. We must remain very vigilant because Northampton was able to go to Leinster, who had put two beautiful spanking in eighth and quarter. It is up to us to stay focused, being sure of our forces, even if we say that it will be very hard. Given our last final, we have no lesson to give to the preparation. May everyone want to play it. “ With the hope of offering a first title, a first star to this union Bordeaux-Bègles which, with demonic forwards and its patrol in France, has been offering fireworks for two years now.
