The bonus, a point that’s all, for Aviron Bayonnais tonight at Jean Dauger. Facing Vannes, the men of Yannick Bru have no choice but to impose themselves with the offensive bonus to be sure to keep Oyonnax one point behind. For the moment, it is this single unit of difference which allows the Bayonnais to be second in the championship, and to be guaranteed to host one of the two semi-finals, three days from the end of the regular phases.
The Oyomen will go this Friday to Narbonne, the red lantern of the championship, as part of this 28th day of Pro D2. Disadvantaged by the calendar in this remote duel, the Bayonnais can nevertheless count on the return of Isaia Toeava, very prominent, and who will be associated for the first time this season with Yann David, also recovered from injury, for a pair of international centers.
