Union Bordeaux Bègles and the Northampton Saints meet with momentum fully on both sides in one of Pool 4’s most balanced matchups.

The pair will meet at Stade Chaban-Delmas on Jan. 11 to reignite their competition play. Kicking off at 10:15 a.m. ET, stream the action live on FloRugby.

Bordeaux arrives in strong domestic and European form. 

A 62-20 win over Racing 92 last weekend reinforced UBB's attacking depth, while consecutive Champions Cup victories over the Bulls and Scarlets highlighted the team's ability to stretch defenses and finish chances. 

Through two European rounds, UBB has combined pace with control, keeping pressure on opponents for full 80-minute stretches.

Northampton counters with its own surge. 

The Saints have won five straight across competitions, including their largest PREM win of the season in a 66-21 result against Harlequins. 

In the Champions Cup, they opened with decisive wins over Pau and the Bulls, showing both structure and cutting edge.

Recent history leans slightly toward the hosts. 

Bordeaux has won the last two meetings between the sides, most recently a 28-20 victory in May 2025. 

With Pool 4 positioning tightening, this clash offers a direct test of two teams pushing their ceilings.
