LA ROCHELLE CONFIRMS AGAINST THE SECTION PALOISE
On the back of their win over reigning champions Toulouse, the Stade Rochelais pulled off the biggest coup of the day with a 20-29 victory at Le Hameau. With a superb late try from Teddy Thomas, the Maritimes confirmed their revival at the start of 2024.
MONTPELLIER REASSURES ITSELF AGAINST TOULON
Last in the league with just 2 wins out of 11 games played, the MHR was desperate to win against the RCT. Patrice Collazo's men did just that, and thanks to a late try from Paul Willemse, they secured the essential points with a 27-17 win over Toulon.
TOULOUSE OUTCLASS LE LOU
It was THE big performance of the round. The Stade Toulousain gave Lyon no chance at all. Thomas Ramos, Peato Mauvaka, Julien Marchand and Antoine Dupont all scored tries. The 45-0 victory sees the pink city climb back up to the 4th place in the table.
STADE FRANÇAIS MIRACULOUSLY BEAT ASM AT HOME
Clermont-Ferrand thought they had secured their 2nd away win of the season until the 79th minute! The score was then 14-7 to ASM when Peniasi Dakuwaqa, well served by his scrum-half, scored the try of hope in the corner (12-14). In that same corner, Zack Henry made no mistake and converted, giving Stade Français a draw (14-14).
