Perpignan regains victory against La Rochelle and leaves the relegation zone

On a maul concluded by his hooker Ignacio Ruiz (18-6, 29th), Perpignan widened the gap, Tommaso Allan taking care of passing penalties (8-6, 18th, 11-6, 24th and 21-6, 43rd). With a three-quarter line reshuffled by the injury exits of Suliasi Vunivalu (left thigh, 25th) and Thomas Berjon (left knee, out at half-time), La Rochelle came back with a try from Levani Botia (21- 13, 52nd), but had neither the weapons nor the ideas to overturn this match.
