Oyonnax boosted their prospects of making the French Top 14 play-offs with a 9-3 home win over Toulouse on Friday.
Benjamin Urdapilleta scored three penalties for Oyonnax who moved up to sixth, level on 45 points with fifth-placed Toulouse.
The sides were all square at 3-3 at the break after Luke McAlister had cancelled out Urdapilleta's third minute penalty.
Urdapilleta saw the home side prevail with penalties in the 50th and 71st minutes to give Oyonnax their first win over Toulouse who were without French internationals Thierry Dusautoir, Yoann Maestri and Yoann Huget, while English fly-half Toby Flood is injured.
On Saturday, League leaders Clermont will seek to bounce back from their February 21 draw with fourth-placed Racing-Metro at home to Bayonne.
Second-placed Toulon, a point adrift of Clermont and a point ahead of third-placed Stade Francais, host Brive with all six club players in the France squad named as starters.
