CLOSE-UP DAN BIGGAR

Northampton fly-half v BEN BOTICA Bordeaux fly-half

Both players did their best to spur their sides in attack. In the opening quarter, Biggar favoured the inside pass to his support runners which was effective but after that Saints struggled for creativity.

Botica made a bad start by dropping the first high ball but rallied to pose a few problems to Northampton’s defence, with his three successful penalties also keeping his side in contention.
