The Aviron Bayonnais faces a challenging start in the European Champions Cup, having lost their opening match. Last weekend, they were defeated 17-26 by the Stormers, resulting in zero bonus points. Under the guidance of coach Grégory Patat, Bayonne struggled at home, trailing 16-5 at halftime. Although they rallied in the second half, briefly taking the lead, the Stormers’ physical dominance and Bayonne’s indiscipline—culminating in two yellow cards—allowed the South African team to regain control and secure the win.
Similarly, the Harlequins experienced setbacks last weekend but managed to garner a bonus point. The team based in Twickenham succumbed to a 28-45 defeat against Leinster at the Aviva Stadium. Despite the Irish side leading 24-7 at halftime, the Harlequins displayed resilience, narrowing the gap to 24-21 shortly after the 60-minute mark. However, Leinster’s late surge clinched a decisive victory.
