This Sunday, RC Villeneuve won by a hair, in the round of 16 of Fédérale 3, against Sor Agout.
Léo Jolly (3rd row of Villeneuve): “We brought down a big player in this championship who had a very strong attack and a very strong defense. We still managed to score three good tries for them. Our combativeness and our aggressiveness made the small difference. Now we’re going to take advantage of this little break which will do us good before heading into the quarter-finals of the championship. »
Clément Turc (Villeneuve winger): “At the start of the second half, we got a little carried away but we were able to come together and play simple rugby like we know how to do. We had to win for the supporters and all the people who support us in this adventure. We have the coin that fell on the right side in stoppage time. Now, we want to go to the end and please all our supporters again. »
Bilal Boulaghrifa (center of Villeneuve) : “Frankly, we made the match complicated, especially in the first half. We reacted well in the second half despite a bad start with a try on my part, that of Lucas and that of Clément which gave us the victory. We bring down one of the big favorites from Fédérale 3. Now, we want to touch the shield. »

Sébastien Salles (3rd line of Villeneuve): “Even trailing by twelve points at the start of the second period, I was never afraid. I know we have a strong mind and it’s still our head that allows us to snatch the victory. Now we will recover well to try to go to the end. »
Erwan Pechaud (pillar of Villeneuve): “It’s a crazy thing we’re going through at the moment. In this match, it came down to details and a missed penalty from the opposing scorer. This is certainly a sign. Congratulations to this Sort Agout team who also deserved to win this meeting. Now, we have to keep a cool head to go very far in the competition. We have to get back to work. But I have confidence in this young, carefree team! »
David Ardilouze (Villeneuve manager) : “We had no time to doubt in this match. We reach 6-6 at the break and we take two tries in 10 minutes. We don’t yet know why or how. We could have collapsed but this team has character and personality. We told the players that it could come down to one or two points and details. Looking at the appearance of the match, this Sort Agout team may have some regrets because they dominated us, especially in the first period. We are doing very well thanks to our strong defense and enormous resources at the end of the match. »
