IT IS OVER ! LA ROCHELLE WINS AGAIN AT CHABAN!
It’s over in Chaban Delmas! Just like last week, on the UBB lawn, La Rochelle won 31 to 13 in the round of 16 first stage and took an option of qualifying in 1/4! Defensive demonstration and realism of the Rochelais who choked Bordeaux without idea. With a nearly 20-point lead, the Maritimes are not far from qualifying!
WHAT A TEST FROM DUBIE… CANCELLED! (UBB 13-31LR)
The gap between the two teams is getting smaller! Cordero edging and tapping for Dubié who used a slide to flatten! Unfortunately, Dubié was in front at the time of the stairs.
Bordeaux wants to take the field (UBB 13-31 LR)
Bordeaux will try to grab a few points in the last few minutes to lower the bill! You have to go all the way up for that!
WEST COMES AHEAD (UBB 13-31 LR)
New penalty against Bordeaux and Diaby! On the side of La Rochelle we don’t bother and take the points. Logic ! West adds three points, 31 to 13!
THE UBB TEST! (UBB 13-28LR)
We had to be behind and outnumbered to come back to score! Woki plays the shot perfectly with a chistera fixing two defenders and Mori is on trial! In the corner, Lucu misses the transformation, 28 to 13!
PENALTY TEST AND YELLOW CARD FOR BORDEAUX (UBB 8-28 LR)
Double penalty for the UBB trying to take a penalty for a foul by Maynadier. De Rochelais quickly played a ball and Maynadier, less than 10 meters away, intercepted the pass…
La Rochelle masters (UBB 8-21 LR)
Five man scrum for La Rochelle who can drive the point home 15 minutes after the final whistle. Punishment for the Maritimes!
Bordeaux is overtaken (UBB 8-21 LR)
As soon as La Rochelle accelerates, Christophe Urios’ players are overtaken on the wings and in the ashes! That annoys the Bordeaux manager somewhat!
Nice action by Lucu (UBB 8-21 LR)
In the mess, Dulin puts the pressure on a small staircase, but Lucu insists! A fuss and a clearance with the left foot save his team!
DAAAANTY FOR LA ROCHELLE’S RESPONSE! (UBB 8-21LR)
What an incredible action from La Rochelle with gas at all levels! Danty clearly shows his strength, as does Atonio extinguishing Diaby! Sinzelle sends a 25 meter laser pass at Danty that ends with a perfect double hook! In the corner, Ihaia West misses the goal, 21 against 8!
WOOOOOKI PUT UBB BACK INTO GAME! (UBB 8-16LR)
Here it is the UBB attempt with a big start from Roumat stopped just before the goal area! Woki fakes the pass and flattens by diving over the ruck! In the corner Lucu misses the goal, 16 against 8!
UBB must respond (UBB 3-16 LR)
Double penalty against La Rochelle for two offside! Trinh Duc finds the key in the 22 while Maynadier and Tameifuna make their entrance.
+13 FOR LA ROCHELLE! (UBB 3-16LR)
Penalty for La Rochelle called by Matthew Carley after a foul by Diaby on the ground. And West takes the points in the 45 meters… The New Zealand opener scores easily, 16 to 3!
PEACE! LA ROCHELLE LEADS TO THE LAWN OF BORDEAUX!
It’s break time in Chaban-Delmas! La Rochelle leads after 40 minutes at a high level with 13-3 against UBB. The Maritimes could count on an iron defense led by the Alldritt/Bourgarit duo and a performance from Raymond Rhule to get away with the score.
West punishes the Bordelais! (UBB 3-13LR)
Penalty against UBB after a big run La Rochelle! The Maritimes will take the points, logically. West adds three points, 13 to 3 for Stade Rochelais!
ALLDRITT IS A ROCK! (UBB 3-10LR)
Scrum on the 5 meters for Bordeaux to side! Picamoles lifts the ball, but is caught by Danty. Alldritt raises his arms and recovers the ball!
LA ROCHELLE HOLD (UBB 3-10 LR)
Huge pick and go session from the UBB pounding the goal line! We open on Cordero who tries a pass on foot, but Dulin takes cover! We return to the penalty for Bordeaux!
UBB wants to score a try (UBB 3-10 LR)
Penalty for UBB after a foul on the ground at La Rochelle! Trinh-Duc finds the key because of the wind… Launch very important to follow!
Great Defense of Bourgarit (UBB 3-10 LR)
What a defense of the Rochelais! Cobilas isolates himself a bit too much and is challenged for the ball, penalty recovered by Bourgarit!
RHULE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE (UBB 3-10 LR)
THE RHULE TEST! New scrum follows introduction La Rochelle! It’s a pass on the maritime side and we bring the ball to life standing up! Rhule can be found on the line of 22 and the winger takes the hole and finishes in front of two defenders! West investigates, 10 to 3!
DIABY MISSING A HUGE OPPORTUNITY (UBB 3-3 LR)
What a shame for Bordeaux! Diaby takes the gap for 30 meters and forgets Cordero on the right! He tries to give Picamoles but he doesn’t take care of his pass!
LUCU RESPONDS TO WEST (UBB 3-3 LR)
The UBB responds immediately with Paiva! Barely coming into play, the Bordeaux pillar comes to recover a good penalty in the opponent’s camp thanks to a scrape! In corner Lucu equalizes, 3 against 3!
WEST GOES FOR THE FIRST POINTS! (UBB 0-3 LR)
Penalty for La Rochelle after ground fault in Bordeaux! Almost opposite the poles, Iahia West passes the first points, 3 to 0!
LAM’S RESCUE! (UBB 0-0 LR)
Passes at the foot of Rhule who continues his race and almost goes flat! Express return of Lam who flattens before him!
Bordeaux well in place, hard blow for Poirot (UBB 0-0 LR)
Heavy Bordeaux pressure in the scrum and the attackers recover a penalty! Poirot is injured and has to give way to Paiva.

No reunion between O’Gara and Urios!
There will be no reunion between Christophe Urios and Ronan O’Gara. The latter was recognized as “responsible for indiscipline, in particular for challenging the decisions of race officials” during La Rochelle’s win against Racing 92 (19-0).
