Smiles, joy, + ola +, the UBB has found its bearings and Paris has paid the bill in this shock of the losers of the 1st day.
One was reassured, the other thought he was playing a nasty trick on the semi-finalist of Top 14 and the European Cup last season, before diving in and leaving with full suitcases.
A second setback after that against Racing 92 which does not call everything into question.
But time is already running out.
This happy epilogue for the men of Christophe Urios was very far from being written at the break (6-0), reached after an anthology of clumsiness, bad choices proposed by the two catchy and very close teams at that time, but far from the required level despite a real desire to play.

Fortunately, the UBB changed gear on the return, especially during the second Parisian yellow card collected by Veainu (51) who served as an offensive detonator. In two waves breaking on the stadist defense, Jalibert made the difference first for Ducuing (53) with a cold Waisea, then for Lam (60), giving more relief to the score (23-3). Paris, hardly dangerous until then - no penalty temptable for Segonds before the 58th minute - due to a found local defense and a lack of imagination, regained a time its spirit and a little cohesion, rewarded by a victorious penalty from Latu (65).
Fatigue pointing the tip of his nose, we thought we were heading for a victory after all classic Bordeaux but the changes have shaken everything, especially the pink soldiers.
Released to bring in Trinh Duc (65), returned two minutes to stop Lam's bleeding (68 to 70), Jalibert took over from Lamerat (73) and started a bonus race far from obvious.
An acceleration to revive his troops and send Seuteni behind the line (75), a perfect relay for that of Moefana before the siren, Chaban exploded and Gonzalo Quesada lowered his head on his bench.
Like a symbol.
