Mont de Marsan's Bordeaux double

Mont de Marsan made it back-to-back wins over Bordeaux-Begles with an 18-7 success on Friday night.


Bordeaux failed to come close to ending a five-match losing streak in the European Challenge Cup as Mont de Marsan put their Top 14 woes behind them for a second week running.


A try in either half from scrumhalf Arnaud Pic and wing William Ryder set the platform for a repeat of Mont de Marsan's 20-13 win away from home last week.


Agen bounced back from last week's shock defeat to Bucharest Wolves with a comfortable win over the same opposition in Round Four.


The French outfit returned from Romania with just a losing bonus point last weekend but they were gained revenge with a 39-9 success at the Stade Armandie this time around.


Tries from Marc Barthomeuf, Uelenitoni Fono, Belisario Agulla, Benjamin Petre and Mathieu Lamoulie secured a bonus-point triumph that saw the hosts move three points above their opponents in the Pool Four table.
