2nd in the Top 14, UBB travels to Brittany this Saturday evening (9:05 p.m.) to respond to Toulouse’s victory in the afternoon.
UBB test!! (39th, 29-5)
Tapuai for the first Bordeaux try! The three-quarter Gironde center inherited a good pass to pierce the Vannes defense. Good playing time from UBB. The Bretons seem to be slowing down a bit. Garcia transforms. 29-7 for Vannes.
Valves hits (again)! (36th, 29-0)
The locals are new to the attack from the 22 meters of Bordeaux! Taccola tries the kicking game behind the Girondin defensive curtain. The ball goes out into touch. No respite for the UBB.
Vannes test!!! (32nd, 27-0)
The fourth Breton try scored by Vunipola!! Surano tried to make it 50-22 but the Vannes fullback was in his camp during the kick. No impact for his team which still recovered the ball to flatten once again in force through Vunipola! Lafage transforms. 29-0. Vannes continues alone.
Three more points for Vannes! (30th, 22-0)
Lafage passes the first penalty of the match! Very eccentric on the left, the Breton opener ensured his kick.
Very nice atmosphere (28th, 19-0)
The Vannes residents are pushed by an incredible Breton audience this evening! “Come on Blues!” » fall from the stands to encourage the locals who are achieving, for the moment, the perfect match.
UBB was hot (26th, 19-0)
The Vannes players are back in line with the posts ten meters away but a hand fault allows the UBB to free themselves. The Bordelais are constantly under pressure as soon as the Bretons start playing.

UBB is not there (at all) (22nd, 19-0)
The Girondins are going through hell for the moment at La Rabine. Yannick Bru’s men are completely absent in occupation, in possession and are, on top of that, undisciplined by displaying six forwards… A nightmare.
Vannes test!!! (19th, 19-0)
The third Breton test via Surano! The RCV has once again, offshore, outpaced the UBB! There is only one team on the field. The people of Bordeaux are in dire straits, in the middle of a nightmare.
Vannes doesn’t let go (17th, 14-0)
The Bretons are once again at the entrance to the 22 meters of Bordeaux!
Vannes test!!! (13th, 14-0)
Search for 2e Breton test! During a game in the Bordeaux camp, the Vannes center three-quarter pierces the interval to flatten into the Gironde goal! Lafage transforms. 14-0 for the locals. The UBB is adrift at the start of the meeting.
Bordeaux Bègles under pressure (12th, 7-0)
The visitors play a scrum in front of their goal line and find themselves under (great) pressure from the Vannes forwards. The UBB is struggling to free itself.
Jalibert comes out injured for UBB! (10th, 7-0)
Very bad news for Bordeaux Bègles, Jalibert is out with an injury! The Girondin received a crutch. Carbery replaces him. Very complicated start to the match for Bordeaux.
RCV emerges (8th, 7-0)
The Girondins, who had invested the Breton 22 meters, lost the ball. Vannes emerges.
Vannes scrum… wasted (7th, 7-0)
The Bretons inherit a scrum in the center of the field but then make a mistake. The ball goes to Jalibert and UBB.
Vannes test!! (4th, 7-0)
Ruru’s test for the RCV! What a first sequence of the match, 5 minutes, which saw the Bordelais crack under the Breton pressure! The locals took the Girondins by the throat to send their scrum half flattening in force! Lafage transforms. 7-0 for Vannes. What a start to the match.
Big first sequence (3rd, 0-0)
First long three-minute sequence of play! The Vannes players are once again getting closer to the Gironde goal.
Vannes (already) on the attack! (1st, 0-0)
The Bretons play out wide and get closer to the Bordeaux 22 meters. The locals appear aggressive from the start, like Captain Gorrissen.
Here we go!
Start of this Vannes-Bordeaux Bègles!
Both teams enter the pitch
Kick-off in a few seconds.
The players are warming up
The Vannetais, worst defense against… the best attack
RCV is currently the worst defense in the Top 14 with 319 points conceded, an average of 35.4 points and 4.5 tries conceded per match. In front ? Quite simply the most prolific attack in the championship with 33.7 points scored per game… The Bretons have been warned.
Vannes to no longer be the red lantern, Bordeaux Bègles to reconnect with Toulouse
Last in the standings with 11 points, RC Vannes hosts UBB with the aim of leaving the bottom of the championship. In the event of success this evening on their lawn, the Bretons could overtake Stade Français Paris (14 pts) and, in the event of an offensive bonus, return to the level of Section Paloise (15 pts).

For their part, the Bordelais can count on the return of Matthieu Jalibert to try to get back on track at Stade Toulousain, winner this Saturday at home to Perpignan (41-9). The Haut-Garonnais have 35 points while the Griondins are second with 29 points. An improved victory in Vannes would allow Yanick Bru’s men to come back within a short distance of the French champions.
