That's pretty much it for Bourgoin as they lost once again last night. Even with nine games left, there is almost no way for them to get out of being relegated. That leaves the 13 other teams to battle for the top 12 (well actually it's just 11, 12, and 13th battling).
It was a close match throughout until we pulled away late. We always had the lead, but felt the pressure the entire night. It was tied at 3 early, and then 10-9 at halftime. But that would be all the points Bourgoin could get and would finally go down 26-9.
We scored two tries, from our fly-half and center, just missing out on a bonus point (in the French league you only get a bonus point when you score 3 or more tries than your opponent). With Brive losing by 8, they didn't earn any points and stay at 26. La Rochelle nearly had a massive upset, leading against Toulon at Toulon, until a late try (thank you) saw Toulon squeeze out the victory (12-9). They earn 1 point for losing by less than 7, and move to 27. And with four points for our victory, we jump back up to 11th, with 28 points. It's all undecided for that 13th spot and it will probably stay that way until the last match of the season when we play Brive at home.
