Top 14 – Castres' ratings – UBB: Tevita Tatafu moving, Levan Chilachava suffering

The UBB forwards put in a great performance on the Castres pitch to allow their team to win at Pierre-Fabre (13-3). Tevita Tatafu caused damage, as did Janse Van Rensburg, who is invaluable in this type of confrontation. Levan Chilachava suffered in the scrum and Louis Le Brun missed penalties on his ropes.

The tops

The powerful third line managed to find progress with the ball in hand in a match where both teams initially sought to progress with the foot due to the difficult weather conditions. He confirmed his rise in power in recent weeks, notably with a fantastic ride in the first act. He won his duel with Abraham Papali'i, who is quite a client, with a few offensive tackles.

Rohan Janse Van Rensburg : 7.5/10

The South African center three-quarter was to its advantage in an encounter where it was not good to venture offshore. He advanced with the ball in hand (one crossing, four broken tackles) but above all he cut out everything that passed in his zone. He allowed his defense to gain ground by imposing his physical density.

The flops

Tough evening for the Georgian right-hander of the CO. While he started for the first time this season for this gala match, the Georgian suffered the wrath of his opposite number Ugo Boniface. Replaced at half-time by Will Collier, who had managed to stabilize the Tarn building (a balanced scrum and a penalty won on the two he had to play). Alas, the Englishman had to leave the pitch due to injury barely 10 minutes after coming on. Returning to the game, the Georgian was unable to find the key. A match to forget despite the 75 minutes spent on the pitch.

Its animation was not bad under very delicate climatic conditions. But his kicking game was deficient, the Tarnais striker let three penalties escape which, at the end, cost the Tarnais at least one defensive bonus point.
