		That is because Biarritz ended the pool stages with a 17-8 victory over the Saints that confirmed their position at the top of Pool 6.
		But Biarritz did not get to the 2006 Heineken Cup final on the back of a poor defence and as the first quarter wore on it was apparent that something extraordinary was necessary to break them down.
		Biarritz began the second half with the bit between their teeth and but for Lamont’s tackle on Bobo they would have had a try inside a couple of minutes.

		Biarritz throws up images of the sun, sea, sand and surf, and while when Saracens make the trip to South West France in January we may not be able to sample all four, you can be sure that the other past time in the town will be worth making the trip for - the rugby.
		With it’s proximity to the coast, the sea dominates life and leisure in Biarritz and this is reflected in the local cuisine where seafood is at the heart of the menu with a Basque and Spanish feel to the dishes.
		Biarritz have only qualified for the Heineken Cup for the last five seasons, but in that time have put their own mark on the competition – making the semi-finals twice and only failing to reach the last eight on one occasion.

		Biarritz had all the ball in the opening exchanges, but had only an 11th-minute try to fullback Nicolas Brusque to show for it, with Leinster being kept in the match by some wayward goal-kicking from international scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili.
		Brusque scored his second on the half-hour mark after some terrific handling by most of the Biarritz side, but the Irishmen clawed their way back when Welsh referee Nigel Williams awarded them a penalty try after scrum-half Brian O'Meara was held back as he went for the try-line.
		Biarritz winger Jimmy Marlu scored in the opening move of the second half, and the home side added a bonus-point try when Romanian prop Petru Balan was driven over from a close-range lineout.

		But the champions were made to work for the right to attend the Final by a determined Biarritz outfit, who were forced to pack away their dance shoes and take the game to Toulouse in the tight.
		To their credit, the Biarritz forwards answers all the questioned they were asked by Toulouse's formidable pack, and the game could have ended very differently were it not for the poor kicking of Biarritz's French international scrum-half, Dimitri Yachvili.
		Biarritz bounced back thanks to a Yachvili penalty, and the scrum-half followed up on his three points by opening up Toulouse's defence with a break that sent David Couzinet into space, but the lock's pass was knocked on by winger Jimmy Marlu.

		Quinlan needlessly handed the Biarritz number 10 two more shots at the posts and he duly punished the Munster flanker's ruck indiscretions on 30 and 41 minutes.
		Biarritz captain Thomas Lievremont then had to ankle tap Shaun Payne just metres from his own line as the Munster full-back went on a 20-metre dart.
		Biarritz's defence — typified by flanker Serge Betsen — was resolute however, and Lievremont's men held firm to book a Paris semi-final date with Stade.

		Biarritz scored their third try and it looked as if Ulster might as well pack up and go home with the score Biarritz 17 Ulster 3 with only 15 minutes of the first half gone.
		Anyway the 3 points were not much use to us by this stage as Ulster had to go for broke and wise counsel might have urged for a line kick to be the better option leaving the rest to the mean machine that was known to be the Ulster pack.
		But the Biarritz muscle and their ball retention as well as the magnificent Yachvilli were just too strong in the end as Ulster tired noticeably in the last 5 or so minutes being turned over too readily.

		The switch of venue from Biarritz Olympique's Parc des Sports Aguillera, following similar moves to larger stadia by Leicester Tigers, Toulouse and Munster, means that 92,300 more fans will be able to attend the four Heineken Cup quarter-finals on the first weekend in April than if the matches had remained at the club grounds.
		Biarritz Olympique's decision to return to San Sebastian - last season Spain became the eighth country to host a fixture in Europe's premier club tournament when Biarritz Olympique hosted Munster in a memorable, sell-out quarter-final - will be welcomed by rugby fans in France, Spain and England.
		Biarritz's Parc Aguilera is currently undergoing a grandstand re-construction, and the ground capacity is restricted to 7,700.

		A Biarritz scrum in Saints’ half led to a kick ahead that was collected by 2005/06 final try-scorer winger Sereli Bobo for this afternoon’s first try.
		The advantage swung the other way when Biarritz were awarded a lineout on the halfway line and the forwards, most notably prop Petru Balan, and backs combined to send Bobo over for his second to create a half-time score of 15-3.
		Biarritz did not waste too much time in securing their try-bonus point after the break.

		Biarritz only began to get their backs motoring at the start of the second quarter, and after some pressure scrum-half Yachvili slithered over a drop goal from close range.
		He intercepted during a Biarritz attack in his own half and sprinted clear to go in under the posts for O'Meara to convert.

		But French giant Biarritz could have grounds for complaint after its captain Thomas Lievremont was the victim of a stamping incident, with video footage suggesting Wasps prop Tim Payne was the culprit.

		Beaten in the European Cup final 23-19 by Munster on May 20, the Biarrots salvaged some pride by winning their fifth championship by scoring five tries in the second half on the back of a devastating performance by their pack.
		Caution and a kicking game reigned in the first half and Biarritz were just 9-6 when the teams retired to their dressing rooms under a storm of whistles and jeers from the uninspired crowd.
		But the 79,000 crammed into the national stadium were on their feet within minutes of the resumption of hostilities as Biarritz wingers Jean-Baptiste Gobelet and Sireli Bobo scored tries just three minutes apart.
