Castres and Racing 92 took a big step towards qualifying for the final phase of the Top 14 rugby on Saturday during the 24th day.
The CO did not make feelings on the ground of the red lantern Biarritz (13-48), registering the trifle of 7 tries.
The Racingmen also imposed themselves outside, on the lawn of the Pau Section (21-42). Jostled at the start of the match (two tries conceded), the Ile-de-France residents began their comeback at the end of the first period, before taking off at the end of the match, taking advantage of fatigue and Béarnaise indiscipline (3 yellow cards).
At the start of the afternoon, LOU had put pressure on their direct opponents in the race for the top 6 by playing at home against the Montpellier leader, who conceded their second loss in a row (43-20, offensive bonus as a bonus ).
Minimum service for Clermont, Perpignan can still save themselves
Clermont painfully overcame Stade Français (29-26). Well ahead at the break (22-5), the Auvergnats conceded three tries in the second half and only owe their salvation to Sebastien Bézy’s try at the very end of the game… The two teams are preparing to finish the season in the soft belly.
Finally, at the bottom of the table, Perpignan, 13th, offered a victory of hope against Brive, 12th, who are only three lengths ahead of the Catalans two days from the end.
