Toulouse blitzed Oyonnax. The 61-24 victory was emphatic. Argentine fullback Juan Cruz Mallía played fly half for Toulouse. He converted three tries. Former Pumas center Lucas Mensa featured for Oyonnax.
Guido Petti scored Bordeaux’s only try of the match. The team had a large home crowd but were unable to give them reason to celebrate. Bordeaux fell to a 20-10 defeat against Pau. The loss of players to Six Nations duty meant a number of regulars were not involved. Petti’s try came late on in the match. The Puma scored from an advancing rolling-maul.
