The equation is simple for Bayonne: an improved victory, and Rowing still has its destiny in hand, a defeat or a victory without a bonus against Carcassonne, and the ball is in Oyonnax’s court, tied with Ciel et blanc. For this last trip of the season, the Bayonnais will have to repeat the performance of Montauban, to continue to cling to their second place synonymous with semi-final at home.
Problem, they move to Carcassonne. More than ever, the Audois will want to make their citadel impregnable, they who have never been so close to playing in the final stages in Pro D2. A feat for one of the smallest budgets in the championship… If successful, Carcassonne could even take 4th place at Neversand distance Aix-en-Provence, which is also fighting for the final stages and which will seek a feat and a first historic victory on the side of Charles Mathon this Friday in Oyonnax.
