Toulon jumped to an early lead on the ladder and never looked back, ultimately clinching the title and automatic promotion with two rounds to spare. Pichot's move wasn't a long distance one since he was simply switching from one Parisian team to the other. Meanwhile, Sireli Bobo, Carlo Festuccia and Argentine captain Agustín Pichot moved to Racing Métro. The team also signed former All Black and Toulon player Tana Umaga as their Manager Sportif. Some notables include George Gregan, Victor Matfield, Andrew Mehrtens and Anton Oliver who all signed with Toulon. The new season showed a bright future for two particular clubs who signed several quality players in the transfer market in hopes of promotion at the end of the season.
Aurillac and Blagnac earned promotion from Fédérale 1. Colomiers were relegated to Fédérale 1 Limoges finished in a relegation spot, but were reprieved when Gaillac were denied a professional license for the 2007-08 season due to serious financial problems. They were eventually followed by Dax who beat La Rochelle in the final providing the second promotion place. Both competitions were operated by the Ligue nationale de rugby (LNR).Īt the end of the previous season, Auch were champions and thus automatically promoted to Top 14. The season ran alongside the 2007-08 Top 14 competition, which is the highest club competition. The 2007-08 Rugby Pro D2 was a French rugby union club competition.
