Top 14: Biarritz overthrows La Rochelle and returns to victory (27-24)

Biarritz pulls its head out of the water, after a daunting end to the match! Biarritz Olympique emerged victorious from a big duel against La Rochelle (27-24) this Sunday, February 6 in Aguiléra on behalf of the 17th day of Top 14. Leads at half time (13-10) thanks in particular to a try from Kerman Aurrekoetxea (17th), the Red and Whites suffered at the start of the second, to be trailing 13-24 with 20 minutes remaining. But helped by La Rochelle’s indiscipline (18 penalties and three yellow cards), the Biarrots will catch up.

In an incredible final, while La Rochelle leads 24-20 to Aguiléra and thinks of spinning towards victory, Biarritz pushes on a succession of penalties. Two balls on the ground, which nullified a try by François Da Ros, then a repeated shelling of the maritime line, and in the wake of this showdown, the BOPB snatched victory thanks to Josh Tyrell, well served by Francis Saili before the transformation of Brett Herron (80th + 4, 27-24). Almost three months later, Biarritz (24 points) returns to victory in the leaguerelaunches in the race to maintain and gives up its place of red lantern to Toulon (23 pts).
