Stade Toulousain takes La Rochelle out of the Top 6
It was one of the big matches of the weekend and it was won by Toulouse.
Thanks to tries from Dupont (6th) and Flament (19th), Stade Toulousain won 23-16 against La Rochelle.
The Rochelais stadium, which was 3rd after the 23rd day, leaves the Top 6 after this defeat but has the same number of points as its executioner of the weekend, Toulouse, which is 6th (62).
UBB misses the mark
Christophe Urios' players were only deluded.
After their victory last weekend against the Montpellier leader, the UBB failed to confirm.
The Bordelais lost at the Chaban-Delmas stadium 16-29 against Toulon.
However, the UBB had the opportunity to regain the leading position in Montpellier.
Bordeaux-Bègles remains 2nd but sees Castres return to equal points (67), Racing 3rd is down to one point and LOU 5th is only 4 lengths away.
There are 2 games left before the play-offs.
