It is with the costume of leader that Chambéry (38 points) entered the lawn of the Robert-Diochon stadium where the Normans (3rd, 36 points) undefeated at home, hoped to recover this first place thanks to a success against to an opponent who traveled quite well (8 points taken on the road in 4 matches).
With this in mind, the locals had undoubtedly slipped an asset into the Channel to surprise the Savoyards.
The defensive bonus for Chambéry
Both teams struggled to control their rugby in the first episode, with the game rarely moving away from the forward zone. Takulua (SOC side) and Astle (Rouen side) scoring strong tries for their team. Javaux (3/3) and Robson (2/3) added the points at the feet for the half-time score in favor of Rouen (13-10).
Robson will close a highlight with a drop to equalize but Rouen will go for the win with a try from Bureitakiyaca, transformed by Javaux.
A numerical superiority in favor of Chambéry will not be taken advantage of and Pehau will shelter his team at the foot. For lack of anything better, despite a great opportunity, Moreno snatched the defensive bonus in added time thanks to a drop (26-19).
