In the process, Niniashvili releases the canes on the wing (10-8, 29th). The Béarnais take no notice. Simmonds, in boss mode, chases (13-8, 36th). This is a low price compared to the almost undivided territorial domination of the locals. Returning from the locker room, the Green and Whites are still well wired, like the foot of Simmonds (16-8, 44th).
Pau leaves his place as roadblocker in Lyon
Victory seems hesitant to choose sides. Especially when Niniashvili arrives, after a great inspiration from Méliande, the Orthézien on top at home (16-15, 61st). But the LOU stupidly makes the mistake. Simmonds puts some distance back (19-15, 64th). Seven minutes later, the Pau forwards were at it again. Guram Papidze flattens (26-15, 72nd).
Proof that the locals learn from their mistakes, while the siren is close, they attempt a final penalty instead of trying to go to queen, for nothing, because there is no bonus at stake. With this success, the Section moves back to 10th place, pending the matches at Perpignan and Stade Français. Above all, it passes in front of Lyon, who slips to the place of barrage.
