After finishing the regular season respectively in first and second place on Saturday, Stade Toulouse (21-10 ahead of Bordeaux-Bègles) and La Rochelle (25-20 ahead of Clermont) qualified for the semi-finals of the Top 14.
Stade Toulouse and La Rochelle are the first two teams to qualify for the Top 14 semi-finals after finishing the regular season respectively first and second on Saturday at the end of Matchday 26.
Clermont (5th) and the French Stadium (6th) won the last two tickets for the final phase and will go respectively to the lands of Bordeaux-Bègles (4th) and those of Racing 92 (3rd) during the play-offs scheduled for Friday and Saturday next.
The semi-finals will take place on June 18 and 19 in Villeneuve-d'Ascq.
Racing 92 cannot afford a semi-final
Racing 92 crushed Brive (55-12), insufficient to afford a semi-final but synonymous with a barrage against Stade Français.
The Ile-de-France club needed great success and a misstep from the Toulouse and La Rochelle leaders to validate its direct ticket to the last four.
Laurent Travers' men scored eight tries, including a double from international hooker Teddy Baubigny (3rd, 15th) and knocked out the CAB, which had nothing more to play anyway.
Toulouse, victorious in front of Bordeaux-Bègles (21-10), and La Rochelle, beaten but with the defensive bonus in Clermont (25-20), consolidated their first two places.
