Bordeaux Beat Toulouse to Reach Champions Cup Semi-Finals

  • Investec Champions Cup holders Bordeaux Begles defeated Toulouse 30-15 at Stade Chaban-Delmas in a quarter-final match, advancing to the next stage of the tournament.
  • Toulouse made a strong start, taking a 12-5 lead into the break after winger Teddy Thomas raced clear following a sweeping passing move, though Bordeaux's defence held firm as Maxime Lamothe powered over in the 23rd minute.
  • Discipline issues hampered Toulouse when prop Dorian Aldegheri received a 20-minute red card for a high challenge on Damian Penaud, and France scrum-half Antoine Dupont was shown a yellow card in the 56th minute for a trip.
  • Bordeaux took control after the break with Ben Tameifuna barging over and Matthieu Jalibert diving over, while Maxime Lucu added a penalty and Arthur Retiere scored with six minutes left to seal the victory.
  • The victory sets up a semi-final against Bath for the defending champions, positioning Bordeaux in the Investec Champions Cup tournament's next stage.
