Bordeaux-Bègles wins in Castres and takes leadership of the Top 14

High-footed play to take advantage of the new rule which prohibits the convergence of supports in front of the recipient of the ball, intense percussion at the level of the rucks, scrums pushed to the paroxysm: this evening meeting offered the panoply of a winter classic in cold rain, with a slippery ball and a spongy pitch. We should not expect flights of fancy. In the rain, the Bordelais won (3-13), Saturday evening at the Pierre-Fabre stadium, against Castres Olympique during the twelfth day of the Top 14, at the end of the first leg.
