AMAZING ! During this 10^e championship day, Bordeaux-Bègles equaled the record for the biggest comeback in the history of the Top 14 by winning in Vannes (29-37) after scoring a record 29 points. It's very, very strong.

Bordeaux-Bègles passes a scathing 0-37

Facing the wind in the first act, and having lost Matthieu Jalibert after only 10 minutes of play, Bordeaux-Bègles suffered the Vannes fury, conceding 4 tries to find themselves trailing 29-0 in a red-hot Rabine stadium.

Except that the UBB, deprived of many executives (Lucu, Penaud, Buros, Bielle-Biarrey, Gazzotti), has not lowered its head. Quite the contrary. Tapuai scored just before the break (29-7), before the second act was an ordeal for the RCV. Retière, a double from Cazeaux and a penalty try allowed Yannick Bru's band to achieve the unthinkable given the scenario of the first half hour of play. Score: 29-37.

The biggest comebacks in the Top 14

This victory for Bordeaux-Bègles in Vannes therefore enters the history of the Top 14. In May 2019, Toulouse had already overcome a handicap of 29 points (36-7 at half-time) to win 36-43 in Gironde .

Among the other most spectacular comebacks, let us note that in 2005, Castres won in Montpellier (36-40) after being led by 19 points. In 2013, Toulon gained 15 points on the Grenoble pitch to win 24-25. In December 2021, Stade Français beat La Rochelle 25-20, while trailing 6-20 at halftime.
