Lyon wandered (62-10) against Bayonne, with ten tries registered including a hat-trick for Josua Tuisova, Sunday at the Stade de Gerland, on behalf of the fifth day of Top 14.
After a laborious draw against Pau (29-29), the LOU regained 4th place in the standings while Bayonne slipped to 9th place with this second defeat in a row.
The Lyonnais won their first offensive bonus of the season thanks to ten tries.
Fijian center Tuisova took the lion's share with a hat-trick (15th, 30th, 75th).
He could even have signed a quadruplet: shortly before the hour mark, the Fijian international entered the in-goal after having again taken the opposing defense in default but offered the test to the third row Colby Fainga ' a, just come into play.
Note that the international scrum half Baptiste Couilloud stood out with a double.
The gap could even have been even greater but the Lyon opener Léo Berdeu was unsuccessful with a cutesy three out of seven at the foot (43% success).
And to think that the LOU received two yellow cards: the third row Patrick Sobela (39th) in the first period, the winger Toby Arnold (62nd) in the second.
But this LOU had the fangs and made short work of a reworked Bayonne team, which was only able to react by Joe Ravouvou, author of a double (35th, 63rd).
Insufficient.
