Toulon followed up with a fourth success by dominating Pau, Saturday December 21 for the 12th day of the Top 14, where the Stade français gave itself a little breathing room.
And four. Winner of Pau 56 to 25, the RCT has a fourth consecutive success in the Top 14, the sixth in all competitions, and climbs to third place in the ranking. However, everything was not simple, against the Palois who knew how to exploit Toulon's errors to stay on track (24-13 at the break). Back at 24-20, the Béarnais then exploded, as they often do away from home this season.
Thanks in particular to two doubles from their wingers Villière and Dréan, in full swing at the moment, the Toulonnais finally seized the offensive bonus.
The Stade français gives itself some fresh air
Under pressure after two defeats in the Champions Cup, Stade Français finally saw the red zone move away a little, thanks to its success against Perpignan (27-7) at Jean-Bouin, and moved from twelfth to 8th place. Sanctioned with three red cards in two weeks, the Parisians this time knew how to keep their nerves in a meeting which never really took off, but missed the opportunity to take the bonus against the playful Catalans who suffered a lot in second period.
