Couilloud 10 out of 10, Berdeu heroic, UBB scuttles itself… The tops and the flops

TOPS

Baptiste Couilloud 10 out of 10

The Lyon captain was once again there this Saturday evening. Author of his 10th try (9th) in his last 10 matches, the French international asserts himself a little more as the custodian of his team’s game. The scrum-half infuses the rhythm of his team in the transmissions and makes his explosiveness speak in conquest. The man who makes LOU roar.

Heroic Leo Berdeu

The Lyon fly-half did not tremble at the fateful moment. The Rhone player secured the winning penalty for his team on the final action of the match (80th). Three additional points to add to the 10 he had already scored earlier in the match.

The spark Damian Penaud

For a few seconds, the Girondin winger thought he had given his team victory… In the 79th minute of play, the French international showed his liveliness and great speed to go and flatten in the corner following a good move from UBB and a good shift from Romain Buros. A try that had everything it took to be the action of Bordeaux’s success in Lyon…

FLOPS

Bordeaux’s indiscipline

UBB was penalized 15 times this Saturday evening… That’s far too many to be able to win away. As evidenced by the last penalty offered to LOU on the last action of the match. Yannick Bru’s men had the four points in the palm of their hands…

The Lyonnais almost lost everything

Ahead of the entire match, Fabien Gengenbacher’s players were on the verge of sabotaging themselves in the final seconds. LOU was also too undisciplined tonight for a home game. Lyon were sanctioned 10 times against UBB… They will have to erase that in the coming weeks but the Rhone players have won a second time in two games and have temporarily taken the lead in the Top 14.
