Racing-Métro 92 are the new leaders of Top 14 after they hammered basement boys Bourgoin 51-20 to claim a bonus-point victory.

The Parisians ran in six tries, including five in a rampant second-half, as they celebrated moving top in style. Their eventual rout seemed some way off when Alberto Di Bernardo's second penalty success made it 3-6 to the visitors after quarter of an hour, especially with Fijian number eight Jone Qovu in the sin-bin at the time. But Racing fly-half Jonathan Wisniewski underlined why he is currently the leading scorer in Top 14 - despite the arrival at Racing of Juan Martin Hernandez - by slotting three penalties for home side before touching down himself for the game's opening try on 30 minutes.

That put Racing 14-6 ahead, but Bourgoin showed admirable resolve to reply through Fijian winger Nemani Nadolo (shortly after re-entering following a yellow card) when the 22-year-old ran in just eight minutes later for his first try since arriving from the Waratahs in the summer. Di Bernardo's conversion narrowed the gap to just one point, but Wisniewski just had time to add his fourth penalty success before the break.

After the resumption it was pretty much one-way traffic from Pierre Berbizier's ambitious side, with hooker Benjamin Noirot crossing on 53 minutes to start a landslide of points. Replacement flanker John Leo'o was next over (just eight minutes after coming on), shortly followed by Sireli Bobo (for his third of the season), Henry Chavancy and Qovu.

Bourgoin did manage a second try of their own in-between when Rudi Coetzee forced his way over, but it wasn't enough to deny Racing their attacking bonus which lifted them clear at the head of Top 14.

Wisniewski finished with 21 points in the match, making him the first player past the 100-point mark in Top 14 this season. He now has 104, including two tries.

Jonny Wilkinson also passed the 100-point mark later on Saturday after kicking 23 in Toulon's 28-16 'home' win against Clermont Auvergne.

The England international followed up last weekend's 21-point haul with five penalties, two drop-goals and a conversion as Toulon continued their recent upsurge in form.

The massive home support at Marseille's Stade Vélodrome was temporarily quietened when Clermont's Wesley Fofana touched down for the French champions on 18 minutes, and Toulon were still behind at the interval (9-13) despite nine points from the boot of Wilkinson.

But Toulon No 10 then struck three times in the opening nine minutes of the second half, with the Cote d'Azur side making hay after Clermont's Benoit Baby had been yellow-carded for a late tackle on Paul Sackey.

Morgan Parra did manage a penalty in reply for Clermont - his third of the afternoon - but Wilkinson's 40m drop-goal edged Toulon five points clear before Joe van Niekerk's decisive try just after the hour mark.    

Jérôme Porical was Perpignan's hero and saviour after he scored all 22 of their points to help them to a narrow and nervy 22-21 home win against Stade Francais.

The 24-year-old converted his own second-half try and also kicked five penalties as the Catalans fought back 12-21 down to avoid the indignity of a second home defeat this season at the Stade Aimé Giral.

Stade Francais gave notice of their intentions when Julien Arias ran in for the game's opening try after just nine minutes - while home scrum-half Florian Cazenave was in the sin-bin - and young winger Quentin Valançon added a second before the break as the Parisians threatened an upset.

Fly-half Lionel Beauxis added two penalties and a conversion, while Perpignan's response was limited to three penalties from Porical as the hosts went in 12-18 down.

David Marty's 44th-minute yellow card for obstruction looked as if would prove costly. but Stade only managed to add one more penalty while the 2009 champions were a man down. and they rallied spectacularly once back to full strength.

Once more it was Porical who provided the points, although this time through a 56th-minute try which he converted himself. Seven minutes later he completed the fight-back with his fifth and final penalty, leaving Stade to ponder what might have been as they returned home with just a bonus point.

Elsewhere, Biarritz continued their recent revival with a 23-29 away win at La Rochelle that finally ended a run of nine successive away defeats in Top 14.

The Basques' latest win followed previous home wins against Stade Francais and Stade Toulousain, and saw them continue their climb up the table after a stuttering start to the 2010/11 season.

Number eight Raphael Lakafia got them off to an excellent start with his fifth-minute try, converted by fly-half Julien Peyrelongue, but the visitors were then forced onto the back foot as La Rochelle found their rhythm.

Florian Ninard gave them renewed belief with a 27th-minute try in response, and five minutes later Seru Rabeni forced his way over to level the scores at 13-13. Maxime Lebourhis' conversion put the hosts in the lead for the first time in the match, and his injury-time penalty saw them go in 18-13 up at the interval.

That was the signal for Biarritz's influential scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili to enter the fray, and the experienced international duly kicked a penalty five minutes after coming on to narrow the gap. Shortly after he produced a deft cross kick to find American speedster Takudzwa Ngwenya in acres of space to run in for try number two, with Yachvili's conversion making it 18-23 to Biarritz.

La Rochelle's Romain Carmignani was then yellow-carded - just two minutes after coming on - with Biarritz adding six more points during his absence due to a further brace of Yachvili penalties.

But the home team never gave up and duly got their reward for an honest afternoon's work when Stéphane Clement crossed in the second minute of time added on to earn them a deserved defensive bonus at the death.

Over in Castres it was Romain 'Robocop' Teulet to the fore once more as the one-man scoring machine notched up 20 points in his side's 28-6 home win against Brive. Teulet landed six penalties and a last-minute conversion after France winger Marc Andreu had touched down to put the gloss on a workmanlike home win.

Fly-half Cameron McIntyre got their other points with a first-half drop-goal, while Brive were restricted to just two Julien Caminati penalties in reply.  

In Saturday's evening match Montpellier continued their superb start to the season as they thrashed SU Agen 6-35 to move second in the table.

Montpellier's win was their fifth in seven games, and their second on the road already this season, with France fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc instrumental to another display of attacking rugby from Fabien Galthié's side.

Captain Fulgence Ouedraogo led the way with a brace of first-half tries, while Trinh-Duc and Fijian winger Timoci Nagusa also got in on the act as the visitors ensured they claimed the attacking bonus.

They were 6-24 ahead by half-time, with Nagusa's try - their fourth - even coming while Montpellier were temporarily down to 14 men following Grant Rees' yellow card. Argentine Martin Bustos Moyano chipped in with 12 kicked points, while Trinh-Duc also added a second-half penalty as 'Montpol' exposed Agen's tepid defence.

The home team's only response was two first-half penalties from Valentin Courrent, but two further misses from relatively straightforward opportunities merely underlined the gap in class between these two sides.

Montpellier's impressive win lifted them above Stade Toulousain, who beat pre-weekend leaders Bayonne 29-20 on Friday night.
