Facing solid Leopards for a good hour, Carcassonne maintains its invincibility (34-12) this season. The score is heavy for Villeneuve given the appearance of the match.
There was no need to be late at the Albert Domec stadium. Unlike its last matches, Carcassonne started the first ten minutes with a bang, scoring two tries. On a huge candle from Clément Herrero, the back of the Leopards missed, and Maika Serulevu took no time to open the score (4′ 6-0). Then, this same Carcasson half sent Vincent Albert in a winning interval, he who was placed in the second line for this match, (7′ 12-0).
But then, nothing more for them Yellow and Blackwho highlight the good and the bad. Lucas Albert brings his team into a good position with a huge 40/20, but does not materialize. Alexis Alberola is wide open to score another try, but loses the ball. And it must be said that the Villeneuve players did not come to make up the numbers. The Leopards go many times within twenty meters of Carcassonne, coming up against the defense.
And by causing problems for the French champion, Nathan Rouillard perfectly follows a kick from Hamza Bachoukh and seizes the ball to make Villeneuve's good thirty minutes a reality. Jackson Moule transforms, (26′ 12-6).
Carcassonne accelerates
With a ball lost from the restart, Villeneuve loses balls which are important against the teams at the top of the ranking. And in its forty meters, Carcassonne launches an attack by overflowing captain Alexis Escamilla, who fixes the last defender and offers Morgan Escaré his sixth try of the season, (48′ 18-6). With a poorly managed end of the chain, Villeneuve suffered a stab. Carcassonne unfolds, and on a fake pass from Lucas Albert, the entire defense is mystified (58′ 24-6). And a few minutes later, the scrum half continues to be in superstar mode.
A new feint fines the Leopards, and the Carcassonne playmaker offers the try to Jowasa Drodrolagi on a two against one, (60′ 30-6). This time, it's up to the hinge's accomplice, Clément Herrero, to shine the spotlight. A kick over the defense for himself, grills the entire defense, (66′ 34-6). But Villeneuve will not give up, Hamza Bachoukh plays defense with an individual exploit and reduces the score (70′ 34-12).
Carcassonne continues its flawless performance against Villeneuvois who will have caused a lot of problems for their opponent of the day.
