3:40 p.m. The Tigers hope to make a big move
For their part, the English can still take second place in the event of a victory by more than 7 points this afternoon. They are in any case guaranteed to finish at least third.
3:35 p.m. Toulouse wants to finish strong
By bringing back only four points from their trip to South Africa, the Stadistes said goodbye to the head of group A. Bordeaux won with the offensive bonus against the Sharks (66-12) thanks in particular to a sextuplet from Damiand Sheepish. UBB is virtually 6 points ahead of Toulouse and will therefore keep its first place.
Objective of the afternoon for the “red and black”: maintain their second place and their status as best second by winning with the offensive bonus.
