Teenager Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored a hat-trick for Bordeaux Begles in their 45-10 win over Scarlets
PARIS: Montpellier crashed to the worst defeat ever suffered by a French side in European Champions Cup history on Sunday when they were thrashed 89-7 by Irish province Leinster.
French pride was salvaged in part by teenage full-back Louis Bielle-Biarrey who scored a hat-trick in Bordeaux-Begles’ 45-10 win over Welsh side Scarlets while the Irish had further cause for celebration when Ulster booked their place in the last 16 with a 24-20 win at Northampton.
Four-time winners Leinster scored 13 tries — Montpellier’s sole try scorer Masivesi Dakuwaqa was sent off in the second-half — against a side which had to field academy players due to the number of Covid-19 cases in the first team squad.
