It took 30 minutes for Plouzané to enter his match on Sunday. Time for Trignac to take a serious advantage in the score, thanks to Pierre's foot on penalty and a try from Christmann who flattened an offering from Plouzané on the wing.
Without being particularly brilliant, but of formidable efficiency and very diligent in defense, the Trignacais largely led without there being anything to complain about (0-14, 27'). The PAC then reacted by responding through play. Clumsy in the last gesture, they only delayed the deadline. On the last action before the break, Pulu broke through Trignac's defense and scored his Sunday try.
Plouzané reacted well
In the previous action, Daniellou seriously injured his ankle, requiring the intervention of the firefighters and a long stoppage in play. “It stung us. Scoring this try and then moving on from the start of the second half totally revived us,” agreed Mickaël Chenais, Plouzané's coach.

-Indeed, the PAC returned with other intentions and Billy punished Trignac with a powerful try before Pichon made the break with a well-executed try (24-17, 51'). Trignac, however, did not give up and showed great fighting values even if he did not show any play.
After a confident touch, Meriaud restarted Trignac (24-22, 55'). As is often the case, Plouzané's power ended up definitively forcing the adversary to its knees, whose exits from the camp became more and more hazardous. Plouzané spent his time in the opposing camp and finally confirmed his domination through Dupin, then the liberating drop from Paroissien (32-22, 75'), Trignac securing the offensive bonus on the last action. “We had to win, we did it. We were rather calm and as I expected, we didn’t give up.” said the coach.
