Early tries from Emilien Spring and Lucas Martin gave Bayonne momentum, while fly-half Joris Segonds delivered one of the weekend’s defining performances. Segonds piled up 24 points from the tee, including a decisive 79th-minute drop goal that kept Toulon’s furious comeback at bay.

While Toulouse and Pau recorded dominant wins, Bayonne’s triumph stood out for its drama, execution and the quality of the opponent. For a club battling to break into the league’s upper tier, Sunday’s result marked a powerful step forward.
