Perpignan increased its lead at the top of the Pro D2 rugby thanks to its victory (30-7) at Mont-de-Marsan this Saturday during the 16th day, taking advantage of the defeat of Vannes on Thursday against Biarritz (16-14 ). With this thirteenth success of the season, Usap has four points ahead of Vannes and thirteen over Biarritz, now only third after Oyonnax’s defeat on Saturday in Montauban (23-17). Despite a Landes test conceded straight away, Perpignan built its success in the first period with a first try from 2nd row Shahn Eru, followed after the break by two new tries by opener and scorer Melvyn Jaminet and scrum-half Sadek Deghmache. Thursday, at the opening of the 17th day, the Catalans will receive Colomiers, who won a place in the standings (4th) by disposing of Carcassonne (37-13) on Thursday.
