1/8 finals. Major feat of VARL XIII which qualifies for the quarter-finals by eliminating a Super XIII team (27-12)
The match started flat out for the visitors with a try from Glossop following a serve from Carivenc. The VARL equalizes by following through Garrouste on the left wing (6-6). The wolves set the record straight through their center Ugaï to take the score (6-12). 3 minutes before the break, the break point is in their hands, but the ball fell when it was time to flatten. On the last action, Rodriguez accelerates, releases Mahon Tarnae who sends Marot behind the line following a relay from Limongi (12-12).
Returning from the locker room, Pierre Louis Bourrel as an old fox plays the opposing defense for a 20-12. Limongi passes a drop and the Elite 2 resident begins to dream (21-12). Villefranche, faced with the euphoria of the Cabardès wild boars, lets go. The hour mark has come, Ahcini passes between 2 defenders for the 4th try (25-12). Despite the efforts of the 3rd line Roux, from Glossop the Aveyronnais do not succeed and multiply the mistakes. A delayed tackle allowed Limongi to seal the outcome of the match with a penalty (27-12). The VARL deserves its qualification for this benchmark match and advances to the quarter-finals by inviting itself to the big table.
