The big result with weekend was in Saturday's match in Paris when Clermont went up to play and consolidated themselves at the top of the log. It's early days but a notable win.
Lyon's away win over Brive is also notable and not really a surprise as the newly promoted, southeast club has had a strong start to the season.
