PENALTY LONDON WELSH. A great response from the visitors as they march downfield and win a penalty which out-half Tristan Roberts does very well to land in tough conditions. 7-3

TRY BORDEAUX. After a period of sustained pressure, hooker Clement Maynadier is the man to crash over and get the first score of the game. The conversion is added by Pierre Bernard and Bordeaux lead 7-0.

Centre James Lewis is sent to the bin after being penalised close to his own line. This could be the chance for Bordeaux to open the scoring with the man advantage.

Conditions making ball retention very difficult. Neither side managing to put phases together.

Almost at the 20 minute mark and still scoreless. A lot kicking thus far as both teams seem to be battling for territory.

First half is underway here!

Good evening and welcome to this European Challenge Cup game between hosts Bordeaux and the travelling London Welsh. Welsh come into the game off the back of a heavy 31 point defeat to Newcastle Falcons, making it a nineteenth consecutive defeat and will have it all to do against Bordeaux who lie in fifth at the moment in the Top 14. Bordeaux will be looking for maximum points in order to put the squeeze on Edinburgh at the top of the pool while Welsh will be hoping to pick up their first points of the season.

Bordeaux have won three of their last four home games in the Challenge Cup. London Welsh have lost their three away games in the tournament.
