Final: Northampton 20-28 Bordeaux BèglesFrench side claim their first Champions Cup titleBeneath the roof of Welsh rugby’s noisiest cathedral here was a game to raise anybody’s blood pressure. There have been some extraordinary finals in this tournament but none as breathless or frenetic for such long periods. This was rugby on fast forward, a blink-and-you-miss-it thriller that finally ended with Bordeaux winning the first Champions Cup title in their history.They just about deserved their special vintage but what a contest. Northampton, reduced to 13 players at one stage with two men in the sin-bin, were heroically brave and insanely committed. Every single Saint refused to bend the knee despite a worsening casualty list and collectively played a full part in a final that rocked and rolled from start to finish. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Murillo earns Nottingham Forest vital point at Crystal Palace in race for Europe

Nottingham Forest aren’t finished just yet. A typically wholehearted performance from Nuno Espírito Santo’s side rescued a point that could eventually prove priceless for their hopes of reaching the promised land of the Champions League next season.It is to their immense credit that with three matches still to play, a team who ended last season in 17th place are still in contention to dine at Europe’s top table.
