Paul Boudehent and Nolann Le Garrec were in full international mode as Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle beat Lyon 35-19 at Stade Gerland to claim their first away win of the season at the fourth time of asking.

After bagging losing bonus points at Bordeaux and Stade Francais, the Rochelais — with Ihaia West also picking up where he left off against Montauban at Stade Marcel Deflandre last weekend before a hamstring injury forced him off early in the second half — moved level on points with Toulouse, with a game in hand following the storm-forced postponement of their trip to Toulon.
