- What was decided on matchday 1 of the 2026-27 Top 14?
- Nothing was decided mathematically on this matchday.
- How is this calculated?
- A club is counted as still in it for a given target (finishing in the top six, avoiding last place) when at least one set of results for the matches left would get it there, taking into account that its rivals also play each other and that a match can bring up to five points: four for a win, two for a draw, one bonus point for scoring at least three more tries than the opponent and one for losing by five points or fewer. It is counted as sure only when no set of results can take it away. Clubs level on points are treated cautiously while matches remain: level is enough to stay in, never enough to be sure. Points penalties are included as published in the table.
