Section Paloise secured a commanding 39-17 victory over Union Bordeaux-Bègles at Stade du Hameau. The match began with an early try from Bordeaux's Gazzotti, converted by Lucu, putting them ahead 7-0. However, Paloise responded decisively, scoring three tries in quick succession through Decron, Hewat, and Grandidier-Nkanang, with Desperes converting all but one. Bordeaux managed to score again with Woki's try, but a yellow card for Uberti further hindered their efforts. In the second half, Paloise continued their dominance with tries from Robson and Seneca, while Desperes maintained a flawless kicking record. Despite a late consolation try from Buros, Bordeaux fell well short. Paloise's strong performance showcased their attacking prowess and solidified their position in the Top 14 standings.
