Stade Marcel-Deflandre

Stade Rochelais secured a decisive 20-6 victory over Section Paloise at Stade Marcel-Deflandre. Antoine Hastoy played a crucial role, scoring 15 points through penalties and a conversion. The home team opened the scoring early with a penalty from Hastoy and extended their lead with a try from Lespiaucq just before half-time. Section Paloise struggled to gain momentum, with yellow cards for Montoya and Decron hampering their efforts. Rochelais capitalized on this advantage, with Jack Nowell crossing for a second try shortly after the break. Despite some attempts by Joe Simmonds to close the gap for Paloise, they were ultimately unable to penetrate Rochelais' solid defense. This match marked a strong showing for Stade Rochelais, reversing their previous losses to Section Paloise.
