Reduced by two points and 13th at kick-off, the Biterrois dominated the leader and ultra-favorite in the climb thanks in particular to two tries from hooker Yanis Boulassel (9th and 21st). They move up to 12th place.
Vannes remains first with seven points ahead of Valence-Romans which will face 4th Colomiers on Friday while Provence Rugby, 3rd, will travel to penultimate Mont-de-Marsan.
