For the first time, having had requests for more lower league competitions, we have been able to do as good a representation of the Third League of French rugby - a league of fallen giants and hopeful climbers - which we hope you'll enjoy having.
 
Narbonne pulled off a pair of miraculous victories - first in the semi-final against regular season leaders Albi in a penalty shootout, then coming from 20-3 behind in Nice in the final, before guaranteeing their place back in the second flight, 23-20.
 
Nice did return to the Second League immediately however, when they won the access match against Mont-de-Marsan 31-26. The fragility of the third professional tier was shown however, when first Tarbes - twice national champions - and then first-time promoted Niort, both had to withdraw due to financial reasons. They each have their own cards and ratings to use as you wish.
