Toulouse v Bordeaux Begles Top 14 final: How to watch, live stream and kick-off time
The red-capped Louis Bielle-Biarrey celebrates a Bordeaux try in last month's Champions Cup semi-final win over Toulouse
Toulouse and Bordeaux will face off in the Top14 final as France’s two top teams compete for the top domestic prize.
Both will be hoping to add to their trophy haul this season after Toulouse topped the table in the regular season and Bordeaux defeated Northampton to win the European Rugby Champions Cup by 28-20 last month.

Toulouse will be hoping to win a third consecutive title in a row after beating Bordeaux in last year’s final.

The ‘bit of bulls***’ that Bordeaux have dismissed ahead of Top 14 final rematch with Toulouse
For Bordeaux, last year’s 59-3 humiliation will be ample motivation to beat their old rivals to the trophy. They have actually beaten Toulouse three times this year in the Top 14 and in the Champions Cup semi-final.
Bordeaux will also be bolstered by an injury-ravaged Toulouse. Antoine Dupont is the most notable absence, but they are also missing Peato Mauvaka, Ange Capuozzo, Paul Costes and Alexandre Roumat. However, Bordeaux could be missing Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who is still recovering from a concussion.
