Bordeaux-Bègles crushed Perpignan in a one-sided encounter (66-12). Driven by a constant offensive desire, the Girondins scored a whopping ten tries to defeat the Catalans. With this offensive bonus in its pocket, UBB consolidates its leadership position, while Usap, reshuffled and reduced to 14 after the red card received by Naqalevu in the second half, will certainly only be able to forget such a performance.
Bordeaux-Bègles largely won against Perpignan (66-12) with the offensive bonus, at the Stade Chaban-Delmas, for the sixth day of the Top 14 championship.
This is a duel that could seem unbalanced on paper. Between the forces present established on the meadow, where the Bordelo-Bèglais leader wanted to consolidate his achievements and a Catalan formation, applying a turnover in order to also involve a whole group for the future. The suspense hardly lasted to tell the truth. After a few beginnings on the outside zones, the Girondins brought order to the game. Tatafu, after a ball picked up, sped away after a good effort from his team (5-0, 11th). Poirot imitated him a few minutes later with a quick pass and a leisurely run towards the goal (10-0, 19th). The Catalans could only endure, without stopping the local machine.
Reybier inherited a beautiful jump pass from Jalibert to head to the promised land after his forwards monopolized his opponent, with a quality carried ball (17-0, 28th). The spectacle offered at Chaban-Delmas, still full as an egg, did not end so cheaply. Jalibert distinguished himself twice. First, the realization of an interception by Penaud, and an offering from his winger for a try between the posts (24-0, 33rd). Then on an interception to his credit, Aucagne had his transmission stolen from the 22 meters of UBB (31-0, 40th). Five tries to zero in the first act. Visitors lacking ammunition in touch, on their possessions and who were giving in little by little on the advantage line, too many sequences to hope to compete.
