The 4th day of the Champions Cup was the day most affected by Covid 19. So far three games have ended 28-0 due to the virus:
- Stade Toulousain 00 Cardiff Rugby 28
- Leicester Tigers 28 Union Bordeaux Begles 00
- Racing 92 28 Northampton Saints 00
In this avalanche of matches canceled and settled on green carpet by the EPCR, (the organizer of the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup), Stade Rochelais was able to play, and win on the artificial turf of the Glasgow Warriors 38 at 30. This had already happened on December 12, 2019, with a young team that had won 12 to 07.
The Boudehent brothers both score in Glasgow
This time the feat was repeated against a team full of Scottish internationals. Victory 38 to 30 in Glasgow with the offensive bonus. The score was not yet acquired at half-time, with a narrow gap of 15 to 09. Even if in the second period, the Scottish scored quickly from the start, La Rochelle reacts quickly by scoring a try in the 46th minute with Pierre Bourgarit, and Pierre Boudehent in stride. A meeting where the two Boudehent brothers scored, Paul did so at the end of the first period.
Stade Rochelais finishes in third place in its pool, and could meet either Bordeaux, the Irish of Connacht or Bristol in the round of 16, with the advantage of receiving in the second game. Everything depends on the results of this Sunday’s matches.
