Top 14: Beauxis costs Bordeaux

France flyhalf Lionel Beauxis's miss with the last kick of the match cost his side Bordeaux-Begles a place in the Top 14 play-offs on Saturday, as they lost a thrilling encounter against 14-man Toulouse 22-23.


The 29-year-old - the first choice France kicker at the 2007 World Cup - put his head in his hands in disbelief as he sent a relatively straightforward kick wide.


The match was a battle between two of the leading candidates to succeed Philippe Saint-Andre Toulouse as France coach after the World Cup - veteran handler Guy Noves and Bordeaux former France captain Raphael Ibanez.
