La Rochelle loses to Treviso but qualifies for the round of 16 of the Champions Cup, Clermont also passes

The Maritimes had started the match well despite the early yellow card from Tawera Kerr-Barlow (3rd). Outnumbered, they got their hands on the ball, provoked Italian mistakes and collected a few points (0-6). Treviso reacted quickly, scoring the first try of the match, thanks to Niccolo Cannone (7-6, 12th). The two teams then went on to score a series of battles, offering a great contrast in style between the powerful Rochelais but too often at fault and the playful and mobile Italians.
