As local rugby players spent their time with family and friends during the Christmas break, a number of Fijian rugby players were hard at work in France over the weekend.
Sunday in France saw all the home teams win, many in freezing conditions.
Stade Français with Wise Nayacalevu and Simon Raiwalui head into the New Year leading the pack, after a convincing win against Toulon 30-6.
Clermont despite a try from Peceli Yato went down to Lyon in the last minute.
Other winners are Bordeaux which had a try from Metuisela Talebula as they beat Brive where four Fijian players featured for the team.
