Bordeaux struggling with La Rochelle's fast line speed

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Half time in La Rochelle and the home side are leading by 16 points to 13. They recovered well from a horrific opening 10 minutes which saw them reduced to 14 men and concede a try but are now back in front. That being said it is a very even game and either team could win it.
