Betting on the French Rugby Championship
The Top 14 is a high-level competition with suspense all season long, ending with decisive meetings during the final phases.
Many teams aspire to finish in the top six of the season, participate in the finals, to be guaranteed a place in the European Rugby Cup.
The top two finishers in the regular season have the advantage of going directly to the semi-finals. Between third and sixth place, teams still have a chance to lift the Brennus Shield for the title of season champion, but they will have to play an extra match.
The bottom team of the league at season end is relegated, while the second to bottom takes part in a promotion/relegation playoff against the second-placed team in the second division. With bwin, bet on the Pro D2 — the second tier of rugby union club competition division which is considered to be a stepping stone to the Top 14.
