Bordeaux-Begles scored a try six minutes into added time to win 37-36 at Clermont on Saturday and continue their Top 14 revival.
A week after a late penalty gave them a one-point victory away to Racing, Bordeaux-Begles trailed by seven points with five minutes to play but fought back to jump from seventh to fourth in the table.
Under late pressure, Clermont, who started the day one place above their visitors, cracked. They conceded a 75th minute penalty which Maxime Lucu converted. Then as the siren sounded to signal that 80 minutes were up, Clermont infringed at a ruck.
