France: Relegation for Cannes 3 Rounds in advance. 3 points for Poitiers, Toulouse and Cambrai

It was April 25, 2021 when Cannes celebrated the title. And today, the relegation, three rounds in advance.
In Round 7 of Playdown, the defending champions suffered a hard fought four sets home defeat against Poitiers (31:29, 27:29, 14:25, 32:34), that’s means mathematically relegation. 25 points with 57% in attack by Ronald Jimenez, absolute top scorer of the match, were not enough as Cambrai, at penultimate place in the standings, celebrated a four sets win on the field of Plessis Robinson and now they boast 19 points, with three more matches to be played (Cannes remained with 7 points). In the other (at this point irrilevant) match, straight sets win also for Toulouse on the field of Nantes.
