Biarritz recorded a comfortable 19-0 win over Brive to book an Amlin Challenge Cup final clash with Toulon.
The one-sided result on Saturday - in which Dimitri Yachvili kicked 14 points and Damien Traille scored the only try of the game - ensures Biarritz reached a third European final in six years. It was a simple afternoon for Biarritz and Yachvili was even able to miss an early penalty as Brive's Riaan Swanepoel missed several scoring opportunities. The match ended with Yachvili slotting over after an on-pitch fracas and Brive's Alexandre Barozzi being given a red card in the final minute. Biarritz will take on Toulon at Twickenham's Stoop on Friday 18 May after Jonny Wilkinson's last-gasp drop goal gave them a 32-29 win against Stade Francais.
