The leader pocketed a sixth victory in Figeac (22-26) while Usan was beaten again, in Saint-Cernin (37-20).
The Bug doesn't stop. Traveling to Figeac, the leader of group 8 of Fédérale 3 went for a seventh victory in as many matches. However, the start was poor, with a penalty and a converted try in the first five minutes (10-0). RCB reacted with Jacquement but the local scorer added three points (13-7, 16th).
On penalties, the Buguois managed to take the advantage on penalties (16-19, 25th) and the Figeacois received a red card eight minutes from half-time. Le Bugue quickly took advantage, thanks to his captain Odran Peyrat, and Hugo Vasquez hit the nail on the head (13-23, 42nd). He did it again in the 55th minute to maintain the margin (16-26) and, despite two blank cards in the second half, the visitors just allowed Figeac to take the defensive bonus.
Usan left behind around half-time
On the other hand, Saint-Astier-Neuvic suffered a third defeat in a row in Cantal. The Périgourdins quickly conceded two tries (12-3, 17th). And, if they competed in numerical inferiority because of a white card, they paradoxically took a third try at fifteen against fourteen, shortly before half-time (23-6). And Saint-Cernin did it again after returning from the locker room (30-6, 43rd).
The Union then finally managed to react, with two tries (45th, 55th) from winger Tom Gard, transformed by fullback Antonin Delamarre. Not even enough to take away the offensive bonus from the Cantaliens who, in the meantime, had scored their fifth try.
