Stade Francais' push for an automatic semi-final place is coming down to the wire. They are locked in a battle for second spot with one point separating Stade Francais, Pau, and Montpellier. They will need a strong finish in their last two matches to bypass the quarter-final playoffs.

Bayonne Form

Bayonne went into half-time deadlocked at 14-14 against Lyon in their last match. Despite missing key Argentinian internationals, Bayonne stayed in the fight, but Lyon's attacking depth proved too strong for Bayonne, who eventually lost 42-35.

Bayonne have struggled on the road this season, losing to Montpellier (62-22), Leicester (57-14), Toulouse (31-10), Clermont Auvergne (38-15), a win against Montauban (60-26), before losing to Toulon (52-26).

Bayonne are 12th in the Top 14, with 46 points from 24 matches.
