It was not a full round, Round 10, not with three matches postponed, two for mumps and one for rain. This will naturally produce an unsatisfactory log.

The matches played will, though, produce a new log leader after the hiding Stade Français gave Clermont. But that was not the only upset for across in Bordeaux recently promoted Bordeaux-Bègles walloped Castres.

Racing were the only ones to win away from home wile Perpignan showed signs, even in defeat, of recovery from their recent poor form. In fact with two tries to none Perpignan could well have deserved a victory.
