If all rugby fans were waiting for the clash between France and Argentina on Saturday evening, the 10th day of the top14 championship was played on Saturday and Sunday… without the internationals selected by their national teams, not just France, for the tour of Autumn. In these circumstances, Toulouse was able to manage this sequence perfectly by easily winning against Perpignan 41 to 9 with notably 6 tries but above all the return from injury of a senior player: Romain Ntamack. With this improved victory, Toulouse remains in first place with 35 points, ahead of Bordeaux 33 points.
In the other matches of this 10th day of the championship and while waiting for the return of the European Cups, Castres dominates La Rochelle 28 to 24, Clermont wins Lyon 30 to 22, Montpellier dominates Pau 30 to 3, Bègles Bordeaux, despite a clear domination of Vannes in the first period, winning 37 to 29 and finally, in the Parisian derby, Stade Français corrects Racing 40 to 24.
In the ranking, Toulouse is first with 35 points, Bordeaux Bègles two lengths behind. A slight break with third, La Rochelle and Toulon who have 28 points taken in 10 matches. At the bottom of the ranking, it will be hard for promoted Vannes which has 11 points evening, 4 behind penultimate Pau and 7 behind 13th Lyon.
