The Bordeaux-Bègles Union lost to Harlequins in the quarter-final of the Champions Cup. Maxime Lucu had the winning conversion at the end of the foot, but the scrum half missed in the 76th minute (41-42) The first half, however, was catastrophic.
The Bordelais conceded a first try in the third minute via Will Porter. The second period was completely crazy. Much more determined than at the start of the match, the Bordelaes came back with better intentions and were rewarded immediately, with a try scored by Nicolas Depoortere in the corner. It could even have been followed by a goal from Yann Lesgourgues. But the flyhalf was turned into the goal. Madosh Tambwe scored the try for hope in the 74th minute. But MaximeLucu missed his kick by a few centimeters. Cruel disillusionment for the Union, which saw its European adventure end in thequarter-final.
