Bordeaux earned a 46–33 win over the Bulls last week, showcasing attacking clarity and the ability to finish opportunities across multiple phases. Their recent form supports that performance: Bordeaux has gone 3–2 over their last five matches, finding rhythm in both structure and tempo. 

The Scarlets, meanwhile, narrowly dropped their Round 1 contest 17–16 against the Bristol Bears and enter at 1–4 in their last five outings. While their defense held firm at times, the Scarlets continue to search for consistency and improved execution in critical moments.

With Bordeaux carrying momentum and the Scarlets arriving in need of a spark, this matchup offers a compelling blend of offensive threats and strategic adjustments. As both teams push for early positioning in Champions Cup play, the meeting at Chaban-Delmas provides a key benchmark for their season ambitions.
