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.
