Zapping World Fifteen Rugby: Top 15 highest paid players
Union Bordeaux-Bègles and LOU Rugby had a big duel in the first half of this first match of the 25th day of Top 14.
At the break, the two teams left with a small score of 6-3 in favor of Bordeaux, who scored two penalties by Maxime Lucu, against only one qualified by Léo Berdeu.
Bordeaux, which has already made some changes, does not wait long to increase its lead, with another defeat passed by Maxime Lucu: 9-3 in the 43rd minute.
In the 47th minute, Matthieu Jalibert, who came back very well, scored a try, which allowed Bordeaux to escape and lead 16 to 3 after Lucu’s conversion.
This score even goes to 23-3 in the 52nd minute with a second Bordeaux try, signed… Matthieu Jalibert! This try comes after a missed touch by the LOU 5m from his in-goal.
Lyon is no longer there and suffocates in the face of the great desire shown by his opponent. In the 63rd minute, UBB temporarily had the offensive bonus in their pocket with a third try scored by Maynadier, after a nice ball carried: it was 30-3 for Bordeaux. This match turns to the correction for Lyon!
Bordeaux drove the point home in the 69th minute, with a new attempt by Cordero. The score swells for UBB who now lead 37-3, then to 42-3 with a try from Ben Tameifuna in the 74th minute after some good work from the forward pack.
In the 78th minute however, there is finally a good action from Lyon. A penalty try is awarded to LOU and a yellow card is given to Jean-Baptiste Dubié who dove on Baptiste Couilloud, preventing him from scoring. The score is 42 to 10, and did not move.
Terrific second half of the UBB which is named for the final stages of the Top 14.
to summarize
After a close first half, the Bordelais showed incredible desire and marched on the Lyon team. The UBB posts an improved victory and its qualification for the final stages.
