+ 92 RACING BRAND STOP
The Parisians, leaders there are still three weeks have conceded three defeats in their last four games to Top 14. Rosses Montpellier (60-7) the previous weekend, they are inclined this time against team B from Toulon (21-20) in Villeneuve d’Ascq, where the meeting was relocated.
There is no fire in the standings for the men of Laurent Travers and Laurent Labit: 3rd with 60 points, they are still in the running for one of the two qualifying spots directly to the semifinals. But they would have liked otherwise prepare their quarter-final European Cup against the RCT on 10 April. And the Top 14 schedule does not spoil, with two trips to Bordeaux and Toulouse and Clermont receiving nothing until April! Racing will have to show their teeth.
This is what makes Clermont and Toulon this weekend by winning out. The RCT has an excellent operation by winning 4 points while putting its cadres at rest. Clermont has in turn overthrown Bordeaux-Begles (24-19) by erasing a slate of 19 points for the transition to Chaban-Delmas. With 66 points, the Auvergne, coming to string six victories, firmly hold the controls of the Top 14, five ahead of RCT. The clash between the two teams on Sunday at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille looks enticing.
Behind, Montpellier (60 pts) stands in ambush. MHR has earned a fifth consecutive success in Agen (45-21) and is now mixed with the lead pack. The method Jake White begins she to pay
+ THAT FOR DAMS ‘
If four teams are detached head, behind, c is a little fuzzy.
After five games without a win, Stade Toulousain has finally set foot on the accelerator by cutting to pieces the French stage (36-3), with five tries and the bonus to the key, fence the day Sunday. This allows Red and Black (6th, 53 pts) back level on points with Bordeaux (5th, 53 pts), preceded only to the particular difference. For now, these two teams have a big advantage for the qualification.
Brive, Castres winner in the end suspense (23-22), and even Grenoble, who took the bonus with victory against La Rochelle (39-23) still have some hopes. 7th place synonymous with European dam, also attracting interest.
CO (7th, 45 pts) is now best placed outsiders, with still 8 points behind the UBB. Brive (8th, 43 pts) and Grenoble (9th, 42 pts) tap timidly at the door. In this perspective, we will monitor next few posters: Castres – Toulouse next Saturday, but Grenoble – Castres on 16 April. Tarnais of charge to mark their territory.
+ OYONNAX AGEN AND IN PRO D2 IS DONE ‘
The survival of Oyonnax (13th, 18 pts) and Agen (14th, 16 pts) Top 14 primarily due to arithmetic. As for key stakeholders, maintaining judged “ very, very, very complicated ” (Authier, coach Oyonnax), when one is not already planning to Pro D2, where Agen “ will be stronger “than it has ever been (Blin, manager SUA). Unlike previous seasons, during which relegation was a major issue into the final straight, the dice seem already discarded. And although resignation of the pack.
However, the French Stadium (12th, 31 pts) refused to believe entirely saved before the removal lost to Toulouse. His situation has not changed. One way to maintain pressure. Pau (11th, 37 pts) blows his side after beating USO (25-6) on Saturday night. Promoted this season in the elite, the Section had made an ambitious recruitment, including the All Blacks Conrad Smith and Colin Slade. The Béarnais going to think about next season more calmly, eyeing why not a little higher.
