Top 14: Clermont and Lyon are a hit, Racing 92 falls in Castres

Beaten last week in Perpignan, Clermont recovered by dominating this Saturday the promoted Biarritz at the Michelin stadium (39-11), with six tries, on the occasion of the 12th day of the Top 14. Note that Auvergne hooker Beheregaray, usual replacement, scored a hat-trick in strength.

Big box also from Lyon, which had bowed in Toulon last Saturday and which relaunched by strangling Brive (41-0).

At the same time, Racing 92 conceded, a week after its big disappointment with UBB, a new defeat on the lawn of Castres Olympique (25-3), which remains undefeated at home in 2021 (13 wins, one no).

Montpellier, for its part, confirmed its current good form by dominating the other promoted Perpignan (30-6), a fifth consecutive success.

This is the first time this time that the MHR has won the offensive bonus.

Bodes well for the start of the Champions Cup next week.
