In the last minutes of the match (36-24 defeat of the Catalans), a fight broke out between supporters. If at first, the Pau versions assured that it was a Catalan who was at the origin of the incident, the images filmed that day quickly contradicted this situation, with a Béarnaise supporter strongly involved.
Internal work
In any case, the disciplinary committee, which took up the matter, considered that the USAP had no responsibility for this fight, and that it should not be sanctioned.

However, the leaders, after the incidents during the trip to Montpellier, and during the reception of Clermont, decided to work hand in hand with the supporters’ associations to avoid problems in the future. “I have also insisted on our desire to act as best as possible, management of the Usap and members of the penyes, to make our best efforts so that our behavior is irreproachable, said François Rivière, the president of the Catalan club, after his hearing. You are one of the most beautiful audiences in French rugby, let’s be proud and hold high, with respect, the values of our club.”
