This Sunday, the UBB again made Toulouse bend (35-18). For the third time this season, the Bordelais take precedence over their old executioners, as a way of erasing, the trauma of the final lost last year. A strong signal sent to the approach of the final stages.
The UBB has a season of Champions Cup without the slightest false note. A controlled course from start to finish, to this semi-final where the Bordeaux struck a big blow by winning against Toulouse, their most feared opponent. This resounding success in the face of a favorite of the competition confirms not only their solidity, but also their ability to respond in major meetings. For a long time pointed out for its difficulties in crossing a CAP, the UBB proves this year that it knows how to manage the pressure of matches at stake. A European dynamic that can only feed Gironde confidence as the Top 14 final stages approached. More than a hope, a demonstration of strength.
Regarding Toulouse, the absences of executives clearly weighed in the scale. Forced to adapt, the Red and Black have not really managed to find the right pace or materialize.
