Bordeaux-Bègles 36-17 BristolBristol’s Pat Lam: ‘There is a big sense of frustration’Bristol have ruled the roost in the Premiership this season but their European ventures are over. In the sunshine of the impressive Stade Chaban-Delmas, Bordeaux became the fifth French club to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, thanks mainly to 24 points from the
France fly-half Matthieu Jalibert.
After a controversial afternoon Bordeaux will meet Racing 92 who gave a masterclass in attacking rugby against Edinburgh in
Paris earlier in the afternoon. Bordeaux strangled the life out of this match but will need to be sharper than this to worry Teddy Thomas and his pals.
