The first 10 mins have been very evenly contested! But Brive momentum forces a scrum just outside the Bordeaux 22m. The Bordeaux prop, Sa, unable to handle the relentless Brive pressure at scrum-time, gives away a penalty. Germain steps up from 25m out and makes no mistake with the place kick. Brive lead 3-0

Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of the second round of the Top 14 fixtures featuring Brive and Bordeaux-Begles at the Stade Amedee-Domenech.

We’re just getting underway – let’s hope it’s a cracker.

Bruce Reihana what a legend!
