Pau- Racing
The Section Paloise, 12th in the standings ahead of Bayonne, has recovered recently with its improved success obtained last Saturday in Agen (47-7). The Pau can count on the South African opener Elton Jantjies and their new manager Sébastien Piqueronies, who arrived earlier than expected. But facing Racing Métro 92, we will have to give our all. The Parisians who can rely on a fire attack composed in particular of Fickou, Thomas, Beale and Vakatawa.
Toulouse-Bayonne
Stade Toulousain is aiming for direct access to the last four guaranteed to the top two in the standings. Romain Ntamack’s teammates seem to be on the right track. The Basque club, penultimate, still hopes to escape this barrage position, synonymous with a chopper match at the end of the season against the unfortunate finalist of the Pro D2. After its defeat last Saturday against UBB (47-22), Rowing must mobilize to keep its destiny in its hands.
Clermont-Toulon
ASM (4th) largely beaten on the last day by Racing 92 (45-19) must return to victory at the risk of falling in the standings. Because behind, Castres (6th) and UBB (7th) are in ambush and clash this weekend.
French Stadium – Montpellier
Montpellier will play for the third time in eight days on Saturday in Paris. Objective: to sign a ninth success in all competitions, which would very probably be synonymous with maintenance. “We have one foot and four toes in Top 14”, breathed, almost relieved, the hooker and captain of MHR Guilhem Guirado Tuesday after the success against RCT (29-10). But the Stade Français (8th) must also win to stay in the title race.
Lyon-Brive
Unhooked, Lyon (9th) must imperatively win against Brive to keep a slim hope of qualification. But the “Guys”, after their victory against an bis team from La Rochelle (24-12) on Tuesday, will also want to secure their place for a new season in the Top 14.
La Rochelle-Agen
The match of extremes. The Maritimes (2nd) will be keen to stay at the top of the table. Agen, red lantern and officially relegated to PRO D2 has nothing more to lose.
