History is already starting to repeat itself for UBB.
Already defeated 22-17 on the lawn of Gloucester for the first day of the Champions Cup, Bordeaux-Bègles lost this time to Chaban-Delmas.
16-19 loss to the Sharks.
Above all, the Bordeaux-Bègles Union may have regrets.
16 penalties conceded during the meeting and an indiscipline which is expensive.
However, it is the Bordelais who strike first and at the very start of the match.
Renato Giammarioli (8th) scored the first try of the game at the very start of the game.
Duel of scorers then during this first period but the locals keep the advantage at the break: 13-9.
More enterprising on the return from the locker room, the Sharks will plant fairly quickly by winger Werner Kok (49th).
In the second period, Bordeaux-Bègles will score only one penalty.
This is enough for the Sharks to keep the advantage throughout the game.
As if that weren't enough, UBB suffered further misfortunes with the injuries of Ben Tameifuna and Madosh Tambwe.
The pillar came out only four minutes after coming into play while the winger went out on a stretcher at the very end of the match after long minutes of stoppage time.
After two defeats in as many games, the UBB are in a bad position in this Champions Cup, but can believe it thanks to their two bonus points.
The Sharks temporarily go back to second place in this pool A.
