Precious victory for Rouen this Friday against a very reshaped Perpignan team. (©Icon Sport)
Soyaux-Angoulême 15-31 Biarritz
Without much surprise, Biarritz has largely imposed itself on the lawn of Soyaux-Angouleme, this Friday. Already sentenced to relegation, the SA XV broke down completely in the first half and ended up losing 31-15.
With this victory, the BOPB definitively validates his third place and is guaranteed to play his barrage at Aguilera.
Rouen 31-17 Perpignan
Speaking of final stages, Perpignan suffered a stoppage on the ground of Rouen. While the Catalan staff had rotated to prepare the half as well as possible, the blood and gold were taken in the commitment against the RNR.
The Normans had the knife under their throat and were forced to win to save their place in the anteroom. It is now a certainty: Rouen Normandy will evolve into Pro D2 next season.
Valence Romans 36-28 Nevers
On the other hand, doubt hangs over Valence Romans. The VRDR had Nevers at the cost of a very well mastered second period.
In the red zone before kick-off, the club dromois had to win and count on possible poor performance from direct competitors. The VRDR still occupies the red zone, and everything will play out next week on the last day.
Colomiers 16-17 Aurillac
And it’s Aurillac who could have paid the price for this performance by Valence Romans! But the Cantaliens won narrowly and in the last minutes at Colomiers.
The Aurillac Stadium sign a victory oh so important, but not yet decisive. The players of Romeo Gontinéac will receive Provence Rugby in a week.
Provence Rugby 36-13 Montauban
Another team in danger at the dawn of this 29th day, Provence Rugby for his part assured his maintenance in Pro D2. The Aixois signed an enhanced victory against Montauban, who had nothing more to play at the end of the season.
Béziers 13-20 Mont-de-Marsan
Same gives for Mont-de-Marsan. Still not guaranteed to evolve in Pro D2 next year before the meeting, the Stade Montois imposed himself without trembling at Béziers. Relief phew for Landais.
The updated ranking:
As a reminder, Thursday, Grenoble largely dominated Carcassonne (34-11) and Oyonnax created the feat at La Rabine facing Vannes (13-26).
