What a reaction from the Union Bordeaux-Bègles! A week after its rout in the Top 14 against La Rochelle, UBB qualified for the quarter-finals of the
Champions Cup rugby by beating the English Bristol (36-17), Sunday at the Chaban-Delmas stadium. Authors of a self-sacrificing match against one of the best teams in Europe, the Bordelais scored three tries per
Jalibert, Dweba and Ducuing.

The international opener, elected man of the match, once again achieved an XXL match with a try and a very good performance at the foot. UBB qualifies for the first Champions Cup quarter-final in its history. Next weekend, the Union will find Racing 92, winner (Edinburgh), for a Franco-French shock.
