This weekend, the Top 14 resumes its rights, a week after the victory of the XV of France during the Tournament of Nations. For this return to the championship, several shocks will be worth the detour, including Toulouse – Bordeaux Bègles on Sunday evening, for a remake of the last Top 14 final (39-33 for the Rouge et Noir). Stade Toulousain is leader with 67 points and the Girondins are in 5th place, with 50 points.
What if the battle for retention was not over?
At the bottom of the ranking, USAP hosts Lyon (11th with 39 points) at Aimé-Giral. The Catalans (13th with 18 points) must win, if possible with the bonus, if they want to have a chance of getting out of their play-off place before the end of the season.
The red lantern, Montauban (7 points), receives Bayonne, 12th at 36 points, with the obligation to win to maintain a slim chance of maintaining its position. The Basques have lost 10 of their last 11 matches, in all competitions. The Montalbanais have 14 defeats in a row and want to get things back on track. This is the ideal opportunity, in front of their audience.
In the middle of the table, Racing 92 hosts Castres, while Stade Français travels to Var, near Toulon. Clermont, for its part, welcomes Montpellier. All these duels will be worth a lot in the race for the playoffs.
