More shocks in France's Top 14

Shining brightly: Jonny Wilkinson is one of Toulon's world stars
The Top 14's Round Two sees Bayonne, slayers of Toulon in Toulon, in joint top position with Stade Français after their second win in this season's Top 14 in France. After just two rounds those are the only two unbeaten clubs.
Other features of this weekend's matches are the comeback win for Toulon when they beat Biarritz, yet again tryless, in Biarritz, Castres home win over Toulouse in an uncharacteristically lively Top 14 match as Stade tried to come from behind to win but found Castres resolute, a hammering of Perpignan in Brive and defeat for expensive Racing-Metro.
Already Bourgoin and newly-promoted Agen look in trouble.
Only two visiting sides won - Clermont Auvergne and Toulon.
