Toulon vs Bordeaux Begles Top 14 preview as the sides meet at the Stade Mayol, with just two games left to go in the Top 14 season.

Toulon currently sit in ninth and the chance of them making the top eight to book a place in the Champions Cup places for next season is highly unlikely as they are 10 points behind.

Bordeaux Begles come into the game off the back of their convincing Champions Cup victory over Leinster last week. They currently sit fifth in the league and would drop at least to sixth if they don’t pick up a win. A bonus point win could see them catch Pau in fourth.
