Solid the Girondins!
Despite many absences, the UBB never trembled to get rid of an unfortunate CO during the European campaign, despite quality services which made it dangerous.
The club of President Laurent Marti thus has a fifth success in a row and further increases its lead over its victim of the day, now relegated to 13 points.
On the podium at kick-off, but upside down during the first act (0-20), the Castres did not find enough answers after the break despite their strong domination, weighed down by a crippling touch which did not did not offer the ammunition needed to come back to score.
This match, which is still close to the heart of Bordeaux manager Christophe Urios, titled with the Tarnais in 2018, logically turned in favor of his men, dominating in all sectors in the first period, with Seuteni at the end of a very long movement (13) for his eighth try of the season.
Clean and disciplined, the UBB doubled its capital tries following a penalty concluded in force by Picamoles (27).
And if we add the no-fault at the foot of Trinh Duc to punish the faults of the visitors (13 points in total), you have the recipes for an announced success.
After the break, Pierre-Henri Broncan's men returned with better intentions and above all took advantage of a local flaw, with two players injured in action, to score their first points with a try from Kornath (20-7 , 45th).

On its way, the CO kept the ball without managing to unseat a solid UBB on its defensive line and not dropping much.
By stealing even seven balls into touch, Roumat and his teammates also made life easier until the end of the meeting, which they dominated but without scoring more.
