Bordeaux into Top 14 final after last-gasp Stade Francais miss

After three failures in the semi-finals over the last three seasons, Bordeaux finally made the breakthrough and will face defending champions Toulouse in the final next Friday in Marseille. Five tries were scored in Saturday's match and all off the back of mauls. The first two came from Bordeaux hooker Maxime Lamothe in the 17th and 21st minutes as his team stretched to a 17-3 lead. Stade, who had defeated Bordeaux twice in the regular season, cut the deficit on the half-hour mark with back-rower Romain Briatte crossing.
