The other good performance of the day was signed by Biarritz, who scored more than 40 points in Nevers (43-14), with 6 tries, and also the offensive bonus. After 9 days of the Championship, the Basques occupy an unexpected second place in the standings. Montauban and Biarritz, who dominate the Pro D2, are two teams which suffered enormously last season, Montauban snatching its survival during an access match, won 20-19, against Narbonne, the National finalist.
