Where are the away wins coming from this weekend?

Where do these away wins happen?
The big giveaway is that two of them have come at Vannes, courtesy of Montpellier (weekend 2) and Toulouse (weekend 3). And Vannes are away this weekend, at Toulon.
Toulon, who sit 13th in the table, have lost three games by a total of four points. On the plus side they have picked up three losing bonus points, and it is inconceivable that they lose at home again this weekend, having been beaten 20-21 by La Rochelle (weekend 2) two weeks ago.
By all accounts the Mignoni-Azema equal partners coaching duo is working well, but that story could change very quickly if they were to slip up against Vannes on Saturday (tomorrow).
