La Rochelle early on

Good day and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Top 14 clash which sees Bordeaux Begles travel to the intimidating Stade Marcel-Deflandre to face off against La Rochelle.

Bordeaux will be up against the odds in this match as La Rochelle have only lost 6 of their last 51 matches at home, however, they did lose to Toulon at home at the end of February.

La Rochelle will be looking to keep the pressure on the sides above them on the Top 14 log with only 6 points separating them, in 5th, and Racing 92 in second. Bordeaux will be hoping they have put their 5 game losing streak behind them having beaten Agen last week.
