Championship Standings

Head-to-Head in Bordeaux

Bordeaux-Bègles (5)

(5) Stade Toulousain

5W

5W

French rugby's defining modern rivalry — perfectly split 5-5 across their last 10 meetings. But the recent momentum has swung to Bordeaux, who have won 4 of the last 6 including the 35–18 Champions Cup semi-final in May 2025 and a 44–20 Top 14 hammering just three weeks ago. Critically, Bordeaux have won their last 3 home meetings.

Recent Results

Average score in the last 6 meetings: Bordeaux-Bègles 30 – Toulouse 26 (last 6 meetings). At Chaban-Delmas specifically, Bordeaux have won all 3 recent home meetings by an average margin of 14 points.

Extended Form

Key Matchups

The decisive battle is at half-back: Dupont and Ntamack are the best 9-10 partnership in world rugby. But Lucu and Jalibert are not far behind. In the forwards, these packs are almost impossible to separate. The midfield is where Bordeaux may find their edge — Depoortere and Janse van Rensburg's physicality is a notch above.
