Union Bordeaux Begles vs. Racing Metro 92: A Compelling Face-Off Amongst the Undefeated

Bordeaux will be facing Racing Metro in the France Top 14 Rugby Union, Day 18. The match is scheduled for 20 February 2022 at the Stade Andre Moga Stadium, Begles City, France.

During the final months of 2021, the Top 14 tournaments were in action. Bordeaux Begles were presenting their fullest potential in the field and had maintained a winning streak for 6 games before tasting a defeat against La Rochelle 26-3. The loss hit them hard, and the squad got back at being the best in the very next game. Bordeaux once again moved forward, leaving behind a trail of 5 consecutive wins over Racing Metro 37-14, Stade Toulousian 17-7, Biarritz Olympique 30-27, CA Brive 22-19, and Castres Olympique 23-10. However, the unbeatable was finally beaten by RC Toulonnias in the last game they played, with a very thin margin of 21-18. As per history, Bordeaux can’t stand defeated for a longer period, and so it can be expected that they’ll regain the momentum in the coming match.

The team also gained success in 4 successive European Champions Cup tournaments in which 2 of their opponents were whitewashed, Ospreys and Northampton Saints 28-0. Racing Metro has been in opposition to Bordeaux 4 times and won a single tournament 17-12. The coming game gives the team a chance to showcase their capabilities. Hence, they need to plan and implement a good strategy into the game to give their opponents a tough time and continue following the track of victory unbeaten.
