A final test before the start of serious things. Rowing Bayonnais faced Jean Dauger this Saturday, for its second and last friendly match before the resumption of the Top 14, Union Bordeaux Bègles of Christophe Urios, semi-finalist of the championship last season. Rowing wins 25-10 against Bordeaux.
Leading the break, the Bayonnais convinced by mastering their subject against undisciplined Bordelais. Aviron Bayonnais in the lead thanks to a try by Bastien Pourrailly at the start of the game. Bastien Pourrailly who also left injured before halftime. The Bordelais without a solution, who were playing their first friendly match of the season, scored a penalty thanks to Zack Holmes a few minutes before halftime.
Sky and white domination confirmed in the second half, even if Union Bordeaux Bègles scored a converted try at the very end of the match. It was also without counting on a last test of Rowing in the last seconds of Guillaume Martocq.
