Section Paloise triumphed over Newcastle Falcons with a score of 32-19 at Stade du Hameau. The home team started strong, with Desperes kicking early penalties and Grandidier scoring a try shortly after. Newcastle's Fletcher responded with two tries, showcasing his ability to break through defenses. However, the turning point came when Paloise's Maximin and Delhommel both crossed the line, extending their lead. Despite a late effort from Lockwood for Newcastle, it was not enough to overcome the deficit. Desperes was instrumental for Paloise, contributing significantly with conversions and penalties. The match highlighted Paloise's dominance at home, particularly in challenging weather conditions.
