Photo Anthony PICORÉ RC METZ 35 LONS 7 Mi-temps : 20-7. Stade de la Grange aux Bois. Terrain synthétique. 300 spectateurs. Arbitre : M. Lemonnier. METZ : 4 essais Kimmel (7e ), Micoud (22e ), Bonjean (67e ), Guerimand (73e ). 3 transformations Perrin (7e, 22e ) et Parra (73e ). 3 pénalités Perrin (14e , 38e , 55e ). Wagner, Kimmel, Bivert, Toulet, Festor, Costa, Combes, Raynal, Parra, Bonjean, Celic, Perrin, Agnes, Constant, Micoud.

LONS : 1 essai Neiceru (10e ). 1 transformation Neiceru (10e ). Royer, Perez, Bouillon, Vakaruru, Guidot, Rollin, Aboueme, Beqa, Joly, Bolomier, Raoma, Neiceru, Meynier, Gauthier, Cugnot. Sont entrés en jeu : Fourcade, Gabriel Robez, Benoit, Dubuy, Taponard, Balconnet, Contardo. Carton jaune : Guidot (59e ) et Beqa (84e ). Les Messins, intransigeants en défense et omniprésents en attaque, ont maté le quinze jurassien. Et pourtant c’est Lons-le-Saunier qui a lancé les hostilités : Raoma a récupéré un long ballon donné au pied à un mètre de la ligne, mais au moment d'aplatir, a commis une faute de main. Secoués, les Messins. Mais sur une touche de Bivert, le ballon a voyagé entre les lignes pour parvenir à Kimmel, qui leur a offert les premiers points. Perrin a transformé pour le RC en tête (7-0). Neiceru manque deux pénalités faciles Meynier, pour Lons,a répondu en s’échappant pour servir Neiceru.
