He was the favorite. Pamiers was not unworthy. But the Catalans were, as expected, the strongest. The Ariégeois leave the Coupe de France with their heads held high. They can now focus on the Elite 2 championship. Their next opponent, in Magnagounet, will be Carpentras, another big engine in the group (next Saturday at 3 p.m.).
During the first twenty minutes, Pamiers was unable to control the Catalans. Fast, clever, with a structured game, Ille dominates the debates. First attack, first chain, first overflow on the wing and first try signed Hugo Borras; Maxime Soula transforms (0-6). Pamiers looks for himself in attack and resists in defense. But the visitor experience pays off. Coming out of the scrum, Clément De Maury breaks through the line and scores (0-12). Destabilized, Pamiers multiplies the mistakes. On a missed ball, Maxime Soula intercepts the ball and flies like an arrow on trial (0-16). Wounded in their pride, in front of their audience, the Wolves finally begin to build. After a bell-shaped ball, Yacine Laaras pulls away and finally scores for Pamiers (4-16, 24th). The rebellion is launched. Pamiers finally plays the ball and, on a perfect chain, Yaonn Reynaud scores in the corner. At the last second, Jason Arnoult follows Aarron Wood’s follow-up kick and scores. Three tries on each side, the two teams went to rest back to back. The comeback gave hope to Ariège supporters. But Pamiers made more mistakes after returning from the locker room. In barely ten minutes, the Catalans resumed their march forward. Maxime Soula then by Jordan Gillen allows Ille to regain his ease. Pamiers reacts but, following a hesitation from the defense, Elian Wautelet places his team in the orbit of the final victory (16-32). However, Pamiers is not unworthy. Romain Talieu finally oversteps the opposing line and scores in the corner. A few minutes later, Clément Rouch brought his team to 24-40. The Ariégeois leave a few points in the transformations. Finally, Ille concluded with a penalty (24-42).
