Racing down Bordeaux
9 Mar 2012
Racing Metro scored a 22-13 victory over Bordeaux in a Top 14 match on Friday.
Fullback Gaetan Germain kicked five penalties for Racing, the last three-pointer giving the hosts a slender two-point lead in the 75th minute.
They had battled to breach the Bordeaux defence right up until the closing stages, and a converted try two minutes from time ultimately lent the scoreline a less than reflective look.
Frans Steyn started at outside centre while No 8 Jacques Cronje and lock Francois van der Merwe fronted in the hosts’ pack.
Steyn produced some neat touches and at one stage launched a drop-goal attempt from his own half. The shot was not short on distance but drifted wide of the posts.

22 years old flanker Bernard Le Roux played for Racing as well. And scrumhalf Heini Adams and prop Bees Roux for Bordeaux. All dragons
