On another planet this Sunday, the Bordeaux winger shattered the defense of the Sharks, humiliated at Chaban-Delmas. Signing an incredible record.
A performance that will go down in history. Levitating this Sunday in Chaban-Delmas, Damian Penaud scored a whopping six tries (!) during Union Bordeaux-Bègles' defeat against the South African Sharks (66-12). A recital in his pure elusive winger characteristic style.
He thus beats a record that had stood for more than 20 years. During the 2000-2001 season, English international Tom Beim (Gloucester, against Rome), then Welshman Matt Cardey (Llanelli, against Calvisano), in 2001-2002, each scored five tries in one match . An unrivaled performance… until the Penaud show.
If it wasn't me, it was the referee, but since he's not playing, I'm the one who's going to score

A great man of the Bordeaux promenade (ten tries in total), Penaud allowed his team to validate an improved victory and thus first place in group 1, (very) important in view of the final phase of the Champions Cup.
“Even among young people, I don’t think it happened to me. It's remarkable. But above all it is the work of the whole team, commented the winger on the microphone of beIN Sports. Afterwards, I am in the right place at the right time. If it wasn't me, it was the referee, but since he's not playing, I'm the one who's going to score (laughs). We love playing ball and the Champions Cup and we were made for that…”
