The big hit: Perpignan

But how far will Perpignan go? Carried by 4,000 burning supporters who made the trip to Hérault, the Catalans overturned a poorly started situation (led 17-5) to win in Montpellier (20-25).

Usap took advantage of a big drop in the second half and the indiscipline of the MHR to achieve the very big blow of the weekend. Qualification in the final phase is indeed possible for Franck Azema’s men.

The disappointment: Castres

Castres has not said goodbye to the final phase of the Top 14, but it must be recognized that the CO achieved a big poor performance by losing to Oyonnax (22-19). The Tarnais had things in hand, leading up to 7-19. Before royally scuttling each other, with two red cards from Chilachava (49^e) and Arata (62^e).

Oyonnax didn’t need any time to get back on track: the red lantern even won its first victory in 2024.

The bad move: Halaifonua

In the fight against Clermont, Stade Français, leader of the Top 14, complicated the task with Halaifonua’s red card After 25 minutes of play. A dangerous gesture, and which especially took place after the whistle from referee Thomas Chababas. Stade Français was finally derailed in Clermont (41-18).

The stat of the 22^e day: 28

And Jean-Dauger fell! After 27 months and 28 victories in a row, the fortress of Bayonne lowered its flag against a great team from Bordeaux-Bègles (15-34). Under delicate weather conditions, the UBB shone thanks to its superb 3/4 line and a pack which very well contained the disappointing Basques. Attention: Rowing is only 5 points ahead of 13^e place.
