The Breton promotion lost this Sunday at home against ASM (19-20), at the end of the 14th day of the Top 14.
The maintenance mission is becoming more and more complicated for Vannes. The Breton club, promoted for the first time in its history to the Top 14 this season, lost this Sunday, in its Rabine stadium, against ASM Clermont Auvergne (19-20). In this part which came down to a back and forth score, the Bretons scored an entry try through Camou (9th), but the Auvergnats then reacted with Montagne (33rd) and Newsome (53rd).
Territorially dominant, the Bretons have, as often this season, wasted a lot of ammunition around the opposing line, with missed throws into touch and dropped balls. Inaccuracies which are costly when it comes time to do the accounts. Conversely, the Auvergnats thought they were taking off at the end of the match after Pierre Fouyssac's try (72nd), refused after video refereeing for a crocodile catch by Killian Tixeront at the start of the action.
Valves left behind at the bottom of the ranking
RC Vannes, bottom red which conceded a fifth defeat in its den, is now eight points behind the 13th play-off place occupied by Stade Français Paris, which it will face in three weeks, during the 15th day. The ASM of Christophe Urios, back at the forefront, remains in the top 6 and offers itself a second victory away from its bases, after that obtained at Lou.
