The good move: La Rochelle wins at Racing 92

And big blow for La Rochelle and a situation at the start of a crisis for Racing 92 which recorded its third defeat of the season. Stuart Lancaster’s men lost to the wire 16-17 at home against the Maritimes.

He is a former Ile-de-France resident Teddy Iriba’s who scored the victory penalty for the yellow and black in the very last seconds. Thanks to this success, the Rochelais go back to the third place in the Top 14. For their part, the Racingmen are in 11th position and could occupy 12th place at the end of this 4th day.

Vannes released to Mayol… but crushed by Toulon

After their first victory in the Top 14 against Lyon last week, Vannes played with enthusiasm and panache at the Mayol stadium. A game totally free from the Bretons but very insufficient against Toulonnais who raised their level of play in the last 20 minutes. Pierre Mignoni’s men won 54-19.

During the first half, Vannes and Toulon tied the game by scoring two tries and returning to the locker room with a score of 14-14. At the start of the second half, the Bretons surprised the Varois. Francis Saili managed to cross and score the third Celtic try (47^e). An advance taken by the promoted but short-lived. Toulon went back in front at 53^e (21-19) and took off by registering 5 attempts.

The stat: 5 points

Perpignan has finally unlocked its victory counter for this season. And what an improved success by sweeping Clermont 33 to 3 for his return to the Aimé-Giral stadium after a first relocated home match! With four registered attempts synonymous with offensive bonusthe Perpignans leave the last place in the Top 14 to move up to 10^e position.

The bonus try was scored by the 22-year-old Olympic rugby sevens champion winger Jefferson-Lee Joseph. His first with the blood and gold. On the other hand, two black spots should be noted for USAP with the seemingly significant injuries to two players.

Second row Posolo Tuilagi was taken out on a stretcher after what could have been a tibia fracture. Usap general director Bruno Rolland clarified at half-time that the Catalan colossus could be operated on this weekend. Third row Jacobus van Tonder also left his teammates after being hit in the ankle.
