Bielle-Biarrey in Kolbe mode
Established on the right wing, the young training back (19 years old) is one of the great architects of the victory of the UBB against Montpellier (40-10), at the start of the 14th day of the championship.
Helmet screwed on the head, Louis Bielle-Biarrey has nothing to envy to his elder.
A fabulous first try that puts his team back in the game.
The three-quarter receives the ball in the corridor of five meters and crosses the 22 meters of Montpellier, leaving some opponents on the flank.
Always willing in attack, he did not leave his share in defense.
In the second period, he took advantage of Matthieu Jalibert's perfect diagonal to plant a double (57th).
Gimbert at the level, Jalibert catches up
For his second start of the season in the league, Jules Gimbert was clean.
Without excess, but with accuracy.
Solid in defense, he is invaluable on referrals or to clear his side, especially in the first 20 minutes, controlled by Montpellier.
He is also behind the first test.
Replaced by Maxime Lucu in the second period (50th), who plants the last try of his team (67th).
Next to him, Matthieu Jalibert had a complicated start to the match.
Uninspired and clumsy in kicking.
He is guilty of a forward in front of his in-goal (9th), which will offer a scrum to Montpellier and the test of Paul Willemse.
A few minutes later, he fouls Leo Coly in an aerial duel (22nd).
Gradually, he regained his best level.
The French opener has regained his footing skill and delivers two assists (47th, 67th).
Impeccable against poles.
7/8 against the posts and 17 points scored.
Chaban at the rendezvous
For the first match of the return phase, the public at the Chaban-Delmas stadium was more than there.
It must be said that playing against the reigning French champion is motivating.
Bordeaux supporters, often harangued by Matthieu Jalibert, kept pushing.
Bordeaux-Bègles played 16 against 15 for 80 minutes.
And even before the start of the game.
FLOPS
Montpellier collapses
Montpellier may have regrets during this first period.
20 dominating minutes, before the alarm clock, then the flight of the UBB.
Guilty of a forward on the goal line (17th), Titi Lamositele misses the second try of the MHR, which did not materialize enough.
Montpellier, however, very clean in the first period with three penalties conceded.
Before completely collapsing, for lack of replacements.
A 27-0 in the haversack during the second period.
Paenga-Amosa misses each other
Montpellier was fishing in the finish but did not need that.
Brandon Paenga Amosa missed at least five throws into touch, including three in a row in the middle of the game, which allowed Bordeaux-Bègles to easily recover the ball.
Lots of wasted ammo and way too stealthy in the current game.
Garbisi is missing
A surprising center since the start of the season, Paolo Garbisi started the game with the 10 in the back for the first time in the league.
Louis Carbonel left to rest, after having played all the matches.
Only, the Italian opener must leave his place after 20 minutes of play because he was hit in the knee.
For an hour, Louis Foursans had too little influence on the game of his team.
Another bad news for the MHR: the injury of Gela Aprasidze.
Entered at the hour mark, the scrum half immediately came out.
Tom Willis touched and replaced at the quarter of an hour of play on the side of the UBB.
