    FT: Bristol 15-27 Bordeaux

    Bordeaux's Adam Coleman speaking to Premier Sports: "It was physical, there was a lot of running rugby despite the rain, great testament to both sides, we always knew it was going to a be a good game but thankfully we came out on top.

    "Going unbeaten in our pool was very important, to set that goal and achieve it, we have a run of home games hopefully and look forward to."

    On Bielle-Biarrey: "He is incredible, a lot of people are fast but a lot of people don't know rugby IQ and his rugby IQ is outstanding. He is a smart kid, always willing to learn and I cannot speak highly enough of him."

    FT: Bristol 15-27 Bordeaux

  4. Prem sides' tricky weekendpublished at 14:49 GMT 18 January

    FT: Bristol 15-27 Bordeaux

    A reminder that five of the eight Prem sides have qualified for the last 16, two still could (Leicester and Saracens) and only injury-hit Gloucester are definitely out.

    Bath, who have finished top of Pool 2 after beating Edinburgh on Friday, are the only side to have won so far this weekend after defeats for Leicester, Sale and Gloucester on Saturday and now Bristol just now.

    Harlequins and Northampton are up next with Saracens facing a tricky test at Glasgow Warriors in the final match of the pool phase.

    Bristol 15-27 Bordeaux

    The whistle goes as the ball sails between the sticks for a bonus-point win.

    Bordeaux win Pool 4 and gain home advantage from here on.

    Bristol had their chances but gifted too much to the reigning champions.

    Converted try - Bristol 15-27 Bordeauxpublished at 14:41 GMT 18 January

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con: Jalibert)

    Chaos reigns in the rain! A high ball is patted back by a Bristol hand into the path of Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who kicks on and drops onto the ball behind the try line for the clincher.

    Jalibert converts and Bristol's race is run.

    No!

    Mathieu Jalibert misses a straight forward one from the left of the posts.

    Hope for the hosts?

  8. Postpublished at 14:40 GMT 18 January

    Bristol 15-20 Bordeaux

    Bordeaux expertly eat up time with a concerted spell across the Bristol five meter line, until a penalty chance that will see the French side go eight points ahead.

    And almost immediately the ball is spilled in the Bristol 22 by Benhard Janse van Rensburg, gifting Bordeaux an attacking scrum dead centre.

    Sam Worsley

    Nerveless stuff from the substitute, out on the left, and he slots it with aplomb.

    Bristol 12-20 Bordeaux

    Louis Rees-Zammit flicks the ball out to the wing and it goes to ground - but there's a penalty to the hosts, which would reduce this to within a converted try of an unlikely win...

    Bristol 12-20 Bordeaux

    That is so frustrating for Bristol fans, Van Rensburg had done so well to take several defenders with him, although the ball looked to have barely, if at all, touched the whitewash.

    Mathieu Jalibert

    But Bordeaux hit right back, an infringement inside the Bristol 22 gives Jalibert a simple three-pointer.

    Benhard Janse van Rensburg (con: Worsley)

    The try is given as the centre crashes over by the post, but did he get the ball down?

    Yes! The TMO and referee are happy with it, the conversion goes over and Bristol are right back in it!

    Bristol 5-17 Bordeaux

    There is an almighty slapping sound as Cameron Woki and Kalaveti Ravouvou collide at a high ball, but there's no damage and they both resume.

    It is hammering it down again at Ashton Gate, but there haven't been as many handling errors since the resumption.

  17. Postpublished at 58 mins

    Bristol 5-17 Bordeaux

    Rees-Zammit takes the ball into touch close to the corner flag, and just to delay the game he flips the ball away. He gets a stern talking-to, but nothing more.

    Maxime Lamothe barges over from the lineout but he's held up.

  18. Postpublished at 57 mins

    Bristol 5-17 Bordeaux

    Rees-Zammit has a kick charged down on his own 22, Bordeaux hack it on but then Worsley has the chance to clear from behind his own line.

    It's very to-and-fro at the moment.

  19. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Bristol 5-17 Bordeaux

    Kalaveti Ravouvou charges down a Mathieu Jalibert kick and for a split-second the Bristol winger looks to be away and threatening the try line - until Jalibert recovers with a turn of pace.

  20. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Bristol 5-17 Bordeaux

    There's more back and forth around halfway, with Sam Worsley's kick sliding off the outside of his left into touch for another unforced error that ends a promising spell.
