Rugby: fatal start-up delay for Tulle which returns empty-handed from Le Havre and which sinks in the Fédérale 1 ranking

With a Le Havre team in full confidence, which confirmed its rise in power with a third success in a row, the Tullist team has gone too far to hope to benefit from its self-sacrifice. She gave herself the stick to get beaten by finding herself trailing 19-0 after half an hour of play and only managed to unlock her counter after 35 minutes.

A fatal ignition delay that the Tullists paid for throughout a meeting that the Le Havre team generally controlled. They had the merit, in line with their two previous matches, of flexing their muscles from the start by catching their opponent cold after seven minutes of play (7-0, 7th). Deprived of ammunition and without a collective spring to channel the seinomarine strike force, the SCT took bursts and by dint of enduring the events, the punishment was unequivocal. With two additional tries, Le Havre secured their rear (19-0, 31st).

Merit to hold on

With their backs to the wall and forced to launch major maneuvers, the Tullist team gradually regained its senses by unlocking its counter on a collective try (19-7, 36th). Beginning to believe in its chances of being able to turn the tide, the SCT tried to shake the HAC a little more by scoring a second try by Morello (24-17, 66th).

From then on, all hopes were allowed for a glimpse of a happy epilogue, except that in the process, the Tullists suffered the quest for an offensive bonus from the HAC (31-17, 70th). Despite all the risks taken to seek the defensive bonus, Tulle was unable to make his profusion of energy bear fruit.

Navigating the troubled waters at the bottom of the table, the pressure will increase a little more for the Corrèze team next week with the reception of Beauvais, last in the ranking and direct rival for maintenance.
