RC Vannes experienced real disillusionment this Saturday, January 18. The Breton club lost its hopes of qualification after its defeat (38-28) against the Welsh Scarlets. A defeat synonymous with 5th place in Group C.
A bit like in the championship, the Vannes residents were not so far from obtaining at least the defensive bonus which would have been enough for their happiness: maintaining the hope of qualification.
Weighed down by a catastrophic first half, trailing 31-0, RC Vannes showed an attractive and combative face in the second period.
-The Bretons scored 4 tries, but the awakening was too late.
They cash in their 14e defeat of the season, championship and Cup combined.
In Top14, RC Vannes is dead last with 7 points behind the penultimate and barrier, Stade français. A club that he will face at La Rabine this Saturday, January 25.
Without a victory against the French stadium, the end of the season will be very long”
A supporter of RC Vannes, on Instagram
As one supporter said, it’s the “last chance match. Without a victory, the end of the season will be very long…”
An almost desperate situation, while Vannes has often only lost by a few points, as against the leader Bordeaux-Bègles on November 23, and does not seem that far from the high level.
The incredible enthusiasm at the start of the season seems far away. The learning process is tough.
