Baptiste Couilloud's side step leaves Danny Priso clutching

Scrumhalf Baptiste Couilloud scored a brilliant brace as Lyon cruised to 45-17 victory over La Rochelle on Sunday.

The 22-year-old is yet another French scrumhalf showing exceptional promise and on Sunday he delievered on that promise making over 90 running metres, beat 5 defenders, made 5 clean breaks on his way to scoring two tries against Ronan O'Gara's side.

The first try saw him leave French prop Dany Priso clutching at thin air as he sidestepped two defenders to score under the posts.

Lyon face Northampton Saints in the opening round of the Champions Cup season, with Saints falling to Bath and relinquishing top spot on the Premiership table this weekend.
