Section Paloise delivered a commanding performance, defeating US Montauban 71-35 in an entertaining Top 14 clash. Nathan Decron opened the scoring with an early try, quickly followed by Montauban's Mael Castel reducing the deficit. However, the home side rapidly regained control, with Joe Simmonds converting several tries from Lucas Rey, Aymeric Luc, and Thibault Daubagna, establishing a significant lead. Montauban's Paul Vallee managed to score twice, but it was not enough to keep pace with Paloise's onslaught. The hosts capitalized on a penalty try when Montauban's Nugzar Somkhishvili was sent to the sin bin. In the second half, Clement Laporte and Paulo Tauiliili-Pelesasa added to Paloise's tally, while Montauban struggled defensively. Ultimately, Section Paloise showcased their attacking prowess, reaffirming their dominance in this matchup.
