Bordeaux Beagles vs Bath-Champions Cup 2026

Penaud probably blew a try there by not moving the ball wide. Well, on replay, it was tight so maybe not.

Penaud is not nearly as effective at centre as he is on the wing.

It's settled, I'm a Barabrian fan

LOL, Bordies from behind the goal line, Jelly almost gets clear but then knocks in the tackle and Barf can attack now.

Bordeaux playing like a fine Chateau Lafite….Bath playing like a house wine. Thomas not exactly dominating in the scrums

Yeah I don't think Penaud has the instinctive distribution for a 13, he seems to want to pin his ears back and run it.

Barf need a few quick recycles but it's slow at almost every breakdown.

Bath so lazy at ruck time...every tackle almsot gets turned over as they keep bashing the Bordie's line

Oh no, Great pass from Russell and Carreras can't hold on for the score.

Back for a penalty advantage but that was a big miss.

Slightly awkward pass from Finn to Santi and he drops it over the line. Barf has a penalty though.

Hahaha one can one say about that passage of play other than that it was under a penalty advantage

Yeah that pass just a little high from Finn allowing the tackler to get below Santi's arms as he tried to bring it in.

Isn't this where you let Barbarian build up a head of steam and tell him to chuck everybody off the train!?

There has to be space wide somewhere, half of Bordies is bunched in there.

Hennessey just gets it down. Damn they made hard work of that right to the end. Simple pass right and they walked it in.

Barf nearly botch another simple try but Hennessy is over . . . just!

24-19. Game on. The game needed that score.

24-19, game back on.

Hennessy scores!

Good on ya boy!

GAME ON!

Finally. ….very lucky not to have had a turnover in all those phases

Jelly's kick about to not work and then Finn makes it work by dropping it.

If Biarritz was Kolbe that was never a try….he also botched a potential try earlier remininiscent of a similar incident in the Bok test last autumn.

Finn makes a poor decision to kick and the a silly knock immediately after...eish!

Yeah that was stripped, not knocked.

Bath barely trying to steal the ball

Bath changing most of their pack

Le Beep has looked ordinary in a few situations today.

Man Jellybear is something else, can't take your eyes off him for a second. Sniping past the ruck, almost gets there. Pity he lost it in the tackle again.

JellyBear makes a good break but can't finish and loses it forward. Back for a penalty advantage. JellyBear sets up the attacking lineout.

If Biarritz was Kolbe that was never a try….he also botched a potential try earlier remininiscent of a similar incident in the Bok test last autumn.

Nobody does anything like King Kolbe can

Good tackle by Temu Henry to be fair, right on the ball.

Moefana screws it up. I still struggle to be impressed with this dude.

Bath somehow turn it over, the ball is hacked forward and Arundell would have had a scoring chance with a kinder bounce.

Brilliant mail defence by Bath and then Muir turns it over!!!

Bordeaux lose 50m of ground as a result

Spencer gains 10m and gives Bordies the lineout.

And now Spencer kicks a shocking boxie to give Bordies a lineout outside Bath's 22

The flyhalves should do more of those tight to the touchline kicks

Bath turn over Bordeaux's maul.

Bordies keep going to the maul but they not really having success with it

Bordies maul fails again. Now they get free kicked in the scrum.

Barf getting some tough calls here, didn't look like that ball went forward from them.

Massive turnaround for Barf, from Bordies in the red zone to lineout 5 on the other end.

Bath gain huge territory after Bordeaux penalised and Spencer boots it up field. Rayasi hacks it out and Bath have an attacking penalty . . . after defending their line a few seconds earlier.
