Poirot, 27, who finished his international career in June with 36 appearances for les Bleus, will remain at Stade Chaban-Delmas until 2025. Loose-head prop Poirot is the club's sixth player to agree a new deal in the past 10 days including France back-rower Cameron Woki and South African lock Jandre Marais. Bordeaux-Begles, who led the Top 14 when the season was cancelled in April due to the coronavirus pandemic in, travel to Stade Francais on the opening day of the new campaign on September 4. rap/iwd/dmc
