Thanks to their improved victory (37-22) this Thursday at the opening of the 12th day, the Brivistes temporarily regain the lead in the championship.
Brive temporarily took control of Pro D2 by beating Montauban 37-22 with the bonus point Thursday at the opening of the 12th day.
With 38 points, the Brivistes are two points ahead of Grenoble, which hosts Colomiers on Friday. Montauban falls one place and finds itself under threat from Biarritz, Béziers and Provence Rugby.
Pierre-Henry Broncan’s team, which won for the sixth time in six home matches, built its success in the first half, scoring three tries in twenty minutes (Shvelidze 10th, Ferté 21st and Johnson 30th) and veering 14 points ahead (17-3).
In the second period, Montauban came back to seven points (29-22) but a penalty then a try at the Corréziens siren deprived him of a comeback.
