For the 18th sold-out match in a row at La Rabine, RC Vannes had a high-flying start to the game. Three tries in 19 minutes (21-0), undivided territorial domination and impressive collective strength in all sectors of play. Maxime Lafage with his foot, then Vunipola in goal brought the score to 29-0 in a Rabine incandescent. The only downside is the try scored by the UBB almost on the siren of this first one-way act, to relaunch the Bordelais.

2. … a disastrous second and a 37-0 conceded
Dominant during the first 40 minutes, the RCV was only a shadow of itself after the break and suffered repeated attacks from a UBB with less than ten points after five minutes of play. With the headwind, Spitzer's men were no longer able to leave their camp, and were penalized with a double yellow card and a penalty try in the 56th minute. The fifth Bordeaux try will be fatal to the Bretons who will never again take the lead on the scoreboard. Maxime Lafage even missed the penalty to pocket the defensive bonus (79th). The chalice to the dregs.
If successful, the Morbihannais could get back together, or even overtake Pau, by temporarily leaving the red zone. This will not be the case with this second setback in four matches at La Rabine. Worse still, RCV could fall seven points behind the first non-relegation team if Racing 92 succeeds on Sunday. The red line that must not be crossed in order to hope to maintain itself according to Spitzer.
