The Black Panthers came close to victory again. But for the second time in a row, the defending champions came away with a draw. During the 5th day of the elite championship, it was the Molosses d'Asnières who held them in check. Thonon, however, had a lead of up to 15 points, before being caught 30 seconds from the end. It could have been worse, since the Molosses missed a two-point conversion that could have given them the victory. What remains is that the Black Panthers still haven't won in 2024.
They let the Flash de la Courneuve take off in the Northern Conference. The Ile-de-France residents won in Rouen.
In the Southern Conference, it's still a duel at the top of the standings. The Catalans Grizzlys started strong with a 22-0 to dominate the Argonautes. Behind them in the standings, the Marseille Blue Stars also remain undefeated, with a success against Nice.
