The calculators will be out this Sunday on the grounds of the Top 14 for the 26th and last day of the championship. Suspense at all levels and especially at the Aimé Giral stadium where UBB and USAP clash with different objectives.
After compiling their ticket a fortnight ago against Lyon (42-10), the Union, in the fight with Montpellier and Castres, now hopes to finish in one of the first two places to join Nice directly. A bonus victory in Perpignan would ensure him a Top 2 finish.
But the Catalans will sell their skin dearly. 13th in the standings three lengths from Brive, they can hope for direct maintenance without going through the jump-off box.
USAP-UBB, match to live in full on France Bleu Gironde and francebleu.fr from 8:30 p.m. with Arnaud Carré and Julien De Jong.
