Bordeaux Form

Bordeaux were in superb form during their European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 1 qualifying campaign. They beat the Leicester Tigers 42-28 at home, Ulster 40-19 and the Exeter Chiefs 69-17 away before thrashing the Sharks 66-12 at home.

Bordeaux lost 22-20 to Lyon before beating Clermont 22-18 and Toulouse 32-24 in three Top 14 home matches since the Investec Cup qualifiers.
