They scored 17 unanswered points as Uelese's try from close gave Montpellier some late hope. In the end, Fijian winger Jiuta Wainiqolo sealed the win with a spectacular solo effort from halfway, picking up the loose ball and beating half a dozen players to score. In other games, fellow Fijian Sireli Maqala continued his strong season by scoring his sixth try of the season as Bayonne beat Racing 92 at home.
Maqala's second-half effort places him at the summit of the scoring charts for the season as the Basques sit seventh in the table. They were denied an attacking bonus point, however, as Racing scored twice in the final 15 minutes. A post shared by Aviron Bayonnais Rugby avironrugbypro. Bayonne led at the break as veteran Argentina hooker Facundo Bosch scored a try and fly-half Joris Segonds slotted a conversion and two penalties.
The hosts' only score of the first half was a Nolann Le Garrec penalty, with the scrum-half expected to be named in France's November Tests squad next week. Maqala's contribution came after 45 minutes as he stretched to dot down before Argentina winger Mateo Carreras and Bosch's replacement Lucas Martin put the home side up with a quarter of an hour to play.
The only negative for Maqala's outfit was their inability to hold onto the attacking bonus point. Another Fijian in Adrea Cocagi, who unlike Maqala and Wainiqolo has been omitted from their November Tests squad, was sent off for a high elbow as Castres eased past struggling Stade Francais Italy's Tommaso Allan kicked 19 points as Perpignan held on to edge Lyon , days after the Azzurri announced the fly-half would return to the squad next month after missing games this season due to family reasons.
