Rugby – Federal 2: Long bridge winner in the pattern in Morlaàs

The writing advises you

The game at the foot of Pont-Long is not frankly a success, but its melee is seriously starting to take over. In numerical inferiority, visitors pick up the score on a penalty from Ginesta.

24ᵉ, penaltouche for the USM, but this time, the alignment Terrois captures the ball. Pont-Long is preparing a classic camp exit … except that Ginesta commits one in front of his in-goal. It is rare enough to be underlined.

The 3rd buzzed line followed well and marks a slightly happy but not stolen test. 17-3, the Morlane melee gives more and more signs of weakness. Long Pont has seen it well, and instead of taking the 3 points on a penalty, chooses a scrum at 5 meters. Verdun, 3rd technical and opportunistic line, picks up the ball and spins on its own. 17-10 at the break, a logical score.

A success built in front, concluded behind

As soon as the USM resumes 10 points, adding a penalty … But four minutes later, Alonso, the Trouter Terrois, flattened a ball worn over 10 m: the green and black pack spoke! 20-15, the match has not yet changed, but it smells like Roussi for Morlaàs. The Morlannaise melee literally explodes, Ginesta investigates three points (20-18). And what was to happen, happened, the most beautiful afternoon test is registered by the winger Serrois Cauna, perfectly served on a magnificent Chistera de Matier.

The writing advises you

20-25, Morlaàs will camp within 5 meters from Pont-Long for the last 5 minutes … but Pont-Long has mind and offers its 18ᵉ victory of the year! Coarraze-Nay having also won, Morlaàs finished 5ᵉ and will challenge Saverdun (4ᵉ of hen 4) on May 4.

The locker room

Arthur Bourdallé, 3ᵉ Line of the US Morlaàs:
“We hung on all the first half, we were in front, but we could not hold the scoring. It is regrettable for us. We got caught up in melee, Pont Long made a good match. »»
Rémi Lafon, 3ᵉ Long Pont line:
“Strategically, Morlaàs offered us a rugby that hurt us, it was disturbing. Stéphane (Gary) repeated to us all week that it would be a match to win with the heart, he was right!
In the second half, we climbed a notch, being more aggressive, and there, we took over mentally. What I remember is this last long action on our line: no one has dropped, everyone defended for each other. With two victories this season against Morlaàs, we took our revenge compared to last year. »»
