They beat Perpignan University 35-25 in a ten-a-side game at Stade Roger Ramis, with five tries from Sam Allen and one each by Guy Hope and Paul Williams.
Pocklington then beat junior side Baby Nyns 38-7 in a full-scale game. Centre Marcus Wood went in under the posts for the opening try after a 50-yard burst by prop James Ward, Dan Clappison converting.
Skipper Mark Taylor surged over for Pocklington's second try to make it 12-0 and after half-time Allen linked with Wood to send Clappison under the posts for a converted try.
Pocklington rammed home their advantage when Rob Jackson tidied a loose ball on the flank, prop Perry Hardy battered in-field and flanker Paul Rhodes crossed for try number four.
Allen got his foot to a dropped ball and left the cover standing, Clappison converting the try. Second row Paul Williams carved his way through from 30 yards and Clappison added the conversion.
