This Thursday evening, at the opening of the 27th day of the Pro D2 championship, Colomiers Rugby did not tremble against the SU Agen. Logically ahead of at the break (17-3), the club trained by Julien Sarraute rushed in the second half to finally win with the offensive bonus, 59-10.
And four for Colomiers! After his victories against Oyonnax, Nevers and Aurillac, The Colombe club has established itself without forcingthis Thursday evening, against Agen, 59-10. With this improved success, thanks to eight essays registered, the men of Julien Sarraute consolidate their place in the top four a little more and see the final phase get closer. Agen, for its part, remains six points from the red zone, pending the results of the matches of tomorrow.
To Michel Bendichou, Colomiers made a start of realism, since the premises scored a beautiful test, signed Martin Alonso-Muñoz, on their first real opportunity. On this action, everything started from a scrum in the 30 meters of the dove. The locals played well and energized the game, until Pinto puts the inner ball back for its winger, who marked between the posts (7-0, 8th).
Before that? It was Agen who had mainly kept the ball without scoring. After that? It was, more or less, the same thing, because if Colomiers raced in mind throughout the first period, the SUA had the game initiative. The SUA had, for example, 60 % possession in the 25th minute, but a big failure in touch (five lost ammunition) did not allow the men, trained by Sébastien Calvet, to be rewarded. Only a successful kick by Emile Dayral (7-3, 14th) left Agen somewhat in the match.
Agen suffered as soon as Colomiers accelerated
When Colomiers decided to accelerate, however, the SUA seemed in difficulty. The locals had a big opportunity half of the first act, but it took a defensive rescue of Muscarditz and Lokutui to prevent Marta from spinning in the end. Shortly after half an hour of play, visitors could not do anything when Tuitavuki, served by an interior discount of Nu’u, scored the second test of his own (14-3, 33rd).
The addition could have been heavier if Loris Tolot had not made the effort to get ahead of Grégoire Bazin, in the race after a game at the foot of Sadek Deghmache, in order to prevent the flanker from flattening (35th). A successful penalty by Max Auriac (17-3, 36th) and a yellow card received by William Demotte (40 + 1st, cynical fault) later, Colomiers returned to the locker room with a logical and comfortable advance (17-3).
100 % at the foot for Auriac
The second period came down to a rider alone, or almost, from Colomiers, since the SU Agen did not see the light of day. Led by Sadek Deghmache rather in good shape, the premises unrolled and scored six tests on this only second act. Tuitavuki (22-3, 49th) then nu’u thanks to his hooks (31-3, 54th) first reported. Vincent Farré, in force, has somewhat reduced the gap (31-10, 59th) without reducing the suspense, because as soon as Colomiers has put speed in his game, the Sua took the water.
This is how the powerful and fast Timu (38-10, 65th) or the twirling of Pinto, served by Dulon, increased the note (45-10, 69th). In a one-way end of the match, Pinto, at the reception of a beautiful diagonal of Herron, offered a double (52-10, 73rd). This same herron, author of a good entry, then pierced the defense of Agen before continuing at the foot, for the test of Rodrigo Marta, transformed by Max Auriac, author of a 100 % at the foot (59-10, 76th). A demonstration.
Next week, Colomiers will go to Montauban for a duel between two contenders in the final phase. Agen, for his part, will receive Soyaux Angoulême.
