Gloucester 25 Bordeaux-Begles 13: match report Even without former England flanker Andy Hazell, who was suspended following his sending-off at Mont de Marsan last week, Gloucester had far too much power in their back row for Bordeaux, who are 13th in the Top 14. Sione Kalamafoni, the Tonga No 8, again impressed before he limped off early in the second half. Akapusi Qera, the Fijian openside, proved a capable deputy for Hazell and completed a dynamic back row. Jimmy Cowan, the former All Blacks scrum-half, also made a decent impression on his first start. He set up Billy Twelvetrees with a superb kick from halfway that bounced kindly for the fly-half to score Gloucester's second try. Gloucester opened the scoring with a try from lock Will James after James Simpson-Daniel had stretched Bordeaux's defence. A superb attack from a line-out saw Simpson-Daniel come off his wing to set up Sharples for his first try. Twelvetrees found the target, after four missed kicks, with a long-range penalty and Morgan's storming run from the restart kick was supported by Twelvetrees and Huia Edmonds, who gave Sharples an easy run-in. Gloucester lost impetus in the second half when they were disrupted by the sin-binning of James for throwing a punch and injuries to Kalamafoni, birthday boy Mike Tindall, Jim Hamilton and Tim Taylor, which forced them to play the last three minutes with 14. Bordeaux had tries from lock François Tisseau and wing Avesini Vasuinubu ruled out by the television match official before flanker Gauthier Gibouin crossed with the final play of the match. In Agen four different try-scorers helped Bath to complete a 27-22 win.
