Brive scored three converted tries against two for Toulon, but Brive kicked six penalty goals.

Among the Brive players were former Exeter lock Mitch Lees and Saracens prop Haydn Thompson-Stringer (and a certain Stuart Olding)
For Toulon, Ben T'eo came off the bench for the last few minutes.

Results and table from this weekend's matches:

Clermont 20-13 Montpellier

Castres 46-16 SFrançais (SF now 4 points adrift at the bottom of the table)
Lyon 25- 23 Bordeaux (tight top of the table match)
Pau 3 -31 Racing (Racing at last showing what they're capable of)
Toulon 23 - 3 La Rochelle

1 Lyon 26
2 Bordeaux 21
3 Bayonne 17
4 Clermont 16

Edit yes I did. If you have Twitter and search Bayonne try it’s there

Un bel essai!!
The Number 8 is a certain Mat Luamanu, Bayonne certainly benefiting from their investment in the pack.

True! Take a look at the top three teams in the table. Who’d have thought that we’d be seeing the likes of Lyon, Bordeaux and Bayonne? Not me, for sure! And equally, Toulouse and Stade Français making up the bottom two !

Results from the Top14 round 7: Bayonne 28 24 Montpellier. Toulouse 36. 15 Castres. La Rochelle 41. 17 Brive. Lyon 27 8 Pau. Racing 27. 27 Agen. Stade Français 33. 30 Toulon. Bordeaux 42. 18 Clermont. Table: 1 Lyon. 30. 2 Bordeaux 26. 3 Bayonne. 21. 4 Clermont. 16. 5 Toulouse. 14. 6 La Rochelle 14. 7 Toulon. 14. 8 Castres. 14. 9 Racing. 13. 10 Montpellier 13. 11 Pau. 13. 12 Agen. 12. 13 Brive. 12. 14 SFrançais. 9. The good news is that Toulouse has a bonus point win against Castres and climb to 5th, and only 4 points separate 4th from 12th. Lyon are still unbeaten and SF stay rooted at the bottom despite a long-awaited win.

Apologies for the squashed format of the above post which I did on my phone instead of my pc at home.
