Incredible scenario in Aguilera this Sunday.
While Biarritz was trailing by four points a few seconds from the end by La Rochelle in the last match of the 17th day of the Top 14, the Basques logically pushed to score the winning try.
Last in the championship, the Biarrots managed to flatten the ball in the in-goal but the action had to be canceled following the bad inspiration of a spectator.
We saw double, didn't we @top14rugby?

Indeed, a touch was to be played in favor of the locals a few meters from the line, and the individual threw a second ball on the lawn.
Ball which found itself in the middle of the maul created by the Biarrots and which a Rochelais recovers to type in touch and end the meeting.
Except that during the same time, the other ball is in the hands of Biarrots, who take advantage of the “diversion” to score the try.
The scene, more than comical, will be reviewed on video by the referee, who logically decided to cancel the test.
Biarritz still ends up winning
After these hazards, the reds and whites will still end up winning.
After endless stoppages, New Zealand third line Josh Tyrell managed to score the deliverance test for the Basques in a burning stadium.
A final success 27 to 24 which allows the BO to leave the last place of the Top 14. The residents of Aguilera come back to two points from Brive (12th).
The new red lantern is called Toulon, still beaten this weekend by Castres.
(22-10).
