A short tour then leaves… Biarritz officially relegated to Pro D2

The information will not surprise anyone among the followers of the Top 14, but it is now official. Biarritz Olympique will return to Pro D2, a year after leaving it thanks to an epic success against neighboring Bayonne in the accession play-off. This Saturday, the BO conceded its 19th defeat in 24 days, against Castres in its Aguilera stadium (13-48).

With 15 points behind the penultimate in the standings, Perpignan, two days before the end of the regular season, the Basque team is condemned to finish in last place. The epilogue of a complicated season on the pitch and turbulent behind the scenes, between open conflict with the town hall and internal war with the amateur section.

USAP in unfavorable tie

The USAP, meanwhile, can still dream of avoiding the barrage, even if it remains in unfavorable tie. His victory over Brive (27-10) allows him to come back to three lengths behind the Corrèze team, 12th.

However, his calendar is not a gift: Perpignan will travel to Castres before finishing at home against Union Bordeaux-Bègles. At the same time, Brive will receive Toulouse and will end the exercise on the lawn of the Stade Français.
