This Sunday, December 15, the Rugby Club Revelois (RCR) faced RC Mauguio Carnon Pays d’Or, last in the group, in a crucial match before the break. The Revélois quickly set their pace: a penalty in the second minute and a converted try in the tenth allowed them to lead 10-0. Despite an unfortunate interception in the 22nd minute which gave Mauguio a try, Revel was able to regain control thanks to a new penalty in the 29th minute. Just before halftime, a try converted into a corner consolidated their lead (20-10). In the second half, Revel struck hard with another converted try in the 46th minute, bringing the score to 27-10. Even after receiving a yellow card for a high tackle, the team held on and scored a penalty in the 62nd minute (30-10). The locals, however, did not give up: they scored two tries in the final minutes, but Revel secured their victory thanks to a final penalty in the 71st minute. Final score: 33-24 for RCR.
