Welcome to the final round of the Top14 where Bayonne takes on Stade Francais at the Stade Jean Dauger. Bayonne needs this victory to assure their TOP14 status for the 2021/22 season. A loss with a bonus point could see them finish 13th overall if Pau beats Montpellier. Then they will face the loser in the PROD2 final between Perpignan and Biarritz. This could be avoided if they lose to Stade Francais, but the survival will depend on the Montpellier result. A bonus point victory for Stade Francais will put them in a position to qualify for the playoffs. However, Clermont or Toulon would need to lose. A draw or a losing bonus point and Clermont loses without a bonus point will be enough to see Stade Francais into the playoff spot. A great game of rugby certainly awaits us as we head into the final round. Stay tuned for all the drama and action as it comes, I am Kyle Baxter and I will be your Ultimate Rugby Commentator for the game.
