Taking advantage of a numerical superiority following the temporary exclusion of Van Der Mescht (74th), the Basques concluded a carried ball, sending Soury behind the line for a try converted by Herron (75).
Before this happy epilogue, Biarritz had logically led against the team of Gonzalo Quesada lacking confidence, especially in touch, and almost happy to turn with only seven points behind at the break (10-3).
The former training of the Argentinian technician had launched his match perfectly thanks to a try by his compatriot Cubelli at the conclusion of a nice movement of the local three-quarters and a good race from Herron (11).
The multiple mistakes and clumsiness prevented the Basques from taking off the score at the break because behind, the players of the capital returned with other intentions with a clinical Segonds against the poles (46, 58) unlike Herron who stammered his game at the foot before finding his bearings in the money-time.
