Was a bit disappointing not to get the win, having lead pretty much throughout. However, I'm not too down about it. That was a strong Bordeaux side, with a lot of big men in it. We were never going to roll them over, and I thought we competed well physically with them throughout. Ok, the lineout started badly, but they had some huge guys in their pack. I thought we adapted pretty well, and even stole some of theirs in the 2nd half. Apart from a few slack minutes when they scored, our defence was pretty good too. They are 2nd in the French league for a reason, and I think we could easily have lost that game. So not a bad result, and a good, hard workout for a lot of our players - some of whom really needed game time at that intensity.
