Rowing won a valuable victory against the RC on the score of 27 to 21 during the 12th day of the Top 14. The Basques were able to be clinical, while the Bretons, dominant in the game, still remain in search of realism.

Bayonne hits hard despite flaws

In a match where possession and intentions were on the Vannes side, Bayonne showed its efficiency. With three tries scored in the first period (Martin, Maqala and Bruni), Grégory Patat's men knew how to capitalize on their rare opportunities. However, their indiscipline could have cost them dearly, with two yellow cards conceded in the first 40 minutes.

I grew up in a family where rugby was at all times. I was at the edge of the pitch when beat and joined the elite, I was in the Stade Pierre Antoine facing Gary Whetton when he did his Haka to celebrate the Brennus of 1993 and I was always rocked legends of this sport. Now, it is with XV Ovalie that I intend to extend the adventure. #TeamCO
