Full time and Bordeaux have stolen a win here as the game ends 29-26 in their favour. La Rochelle will be utterly disappointed to have lost here today as they shipped 13 points in the last 8 minutes after being in complete control throughout the game. Big win for Bordeaux as La Rochelle would really see this stadium as a fortress.
