You are indeed correct It is match points between the sides, then overall points difference. Wikipedia was wrong.....
There is a very interesting scenario (if you like numbers/stats ) where Montpellier, Toulon and Racing could all end on 81 pts and head to head split would factor in games between all 3 of them.
In that case Toulon would finish 2nd with 10 match points from the 4 games with the other 2 on 9 mp.

So Davidson didn't quite make it. He's done a great job with limited resources, I wonder would he be interested in coming home to UR?
Have my doubts.
To do what Solids, in Les we trust, Jezza would hardly want a step down to forwards coach. He's got a contract with Aurillac util 2022, probably the most secure coach in Europe so why step down?
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

You're right on both counts - back Les to the hilt now and recognise that Davidson has no reason to leave France at all. But Les isn't likely to be with us for the long haul and the French are, shall we say, a tad fickle. In a couple of years time he may be looking elsewhere but I doubt that he would look in this direction.
Surprisingly good semi final in Rennes - 27 all between Clermont and Racing with 12 mins to go - on SS5
Interesting factoid via twitter Toulon with the most French qualified players in their 23 of the top 4 sides - 15. Racing - 13, ASM - 12 and Montpellier - 9!
Has gone to extra time - both have scored 2 tries, so penalty kicks is a possibility.
