La Rochelle dominates Stade Français and wins an improved victory in the Top 14
La Rochelle takes second
Returning from the locker room, the Rochelais took advantage of a ball carried after a touch to showcase the power of their forwards to score a second try, this time converted, to take the lead (18-15). But Teddy Thomas' teammates made a mistake from the throw-in to allow Stade Français to score a sixth penalty to get back on track (18-18). More enterprising with the ball in this second act, without being very creative, Stade Rochelais took advantage of a mistake by the Parisians to regain the lead with a new penalty (21-18).
