Rugby: Penaud back in Bordeaux starting team for Champions Cup final

# Rugby: France winger Damian Penaud will start in Bordeaux-Begles’ Champions Cup final against Northampton in Cardiff today. Penaud has been sidelined since the semi-final victory over Toulouse earlier this month with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old has scored 21 tries this season for club and country and forms a lethal partnership with fellow winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey. Head coach Yannick Bru has made six other changes to his team from last weekend’s Top 14 win over Castres including naming Tonga heavyweight prop Ben Tameifuna on the bench.
