Fijian back-rower Kitione Kamikamica scored twice as Brive beat a second-string La Rochelle 24-12 at home in the French Top 14 on Tuesday.
The fixture had been rescheduled from last month due to Covid-19 cases among the visitors, who continued to rest players ahead of the European Champions Cup final on May 22 with three fixtures in 12 days.
The hosts moved 10 points clear from Bayonne in the relegation play off spot as La Rochelle remain in second place with three games remaining of the regular season.

Brive clawed themselves back from a 15-point half-time deficit to win 25-24 at Castres on Tuesday in a Top 14 match postponed from the weekend of October 10 by a coronavirus outbreak.
Brive started the game second from last in the standings but victory lifted them to 10th while Castres, despite collecting a bonus point, took their place in 13th position.
The original match was postponed after 11 Covid-19 cases at Castres.
On Tuesday, the home team built a seemingly healthy 21-6 half-time lead with tries by lock Ryno Pieterse, winger Filipo Nakosi and flanker Anthony Jelonch.
