UBB Rout Puts Holders Through as Toulouse Slip Again in Champions Cup Round 3

Bonus points now make next week's fixtures decisive for seeding and survival.

Overview

  • Bordeaux-Bègles crushed Northampton 50-28 to reach 15 points from 15 and secure qualification from Pool 4.
  • To finish first, UBB must avoid defeat at Bristol next week, with victory needed to lock a home route deep into the knockouts.
  • Stade Toulousain lost 20-14 at Saracens for a second straight setback, sit fourth on seven points with only a defensive bonus, and host Sale in the pool finale.
  • Toulon edged Munster 27-25 at Mayol to stay in contention in Pool 2 but missed an attacking bonus and now visit Gloucester in the last round.
  • La Rochelle were pipped 25-24 by Leinster and now need to beat Harlequins, while Pau won 47-38 at the Scarlets as Clermont and Bayonne stayed on zero after third defeats.
