Amateur rugby – Regional 2: AS Le Passage confirms its invincibility by winning largely in Saint-Aubin

Sporting Club Saint-Aubinois hosted the undefeated leader of the group, with the intention of competing, or even worrying, the Passage team. Unfortunately, during the first action, the Agen suburbs showed that they were not undefeated by chance. The poor reception of the locals’ commitment will be perfectly exploited by the visitors, who will carry the ball behind the score line (0-7, 3rd).

The transition to mastery

Néria’s try launched the match, and it got off to a bad start for the Saint-Aubinois. However, the latter reacted, and dominated without being able to break through the Passage defense, which had put up the barbed wire, showing the effectiveness of the team, both in attack and defense.

Only Ponsan scored a penalty against the posts (3-5, 28th). Then, the Passageois took over the management of the game, and showed themselves to be realistic. In turn, Néria, on a carried ball, then Motard, after several “pick and go”, scored two tries, giving a nice advantage to the “red and white” of Passage (3-20, 34th).

Titou Tarozzi’s guys had done the hardest part just before the middle break. The passage through the locker room did not change the appearance of the game, even if center Nassik pointed into the opposing goal. Theys transformed (3-27, 54th). The match was decided, but Passageois, like Saint-Aubinois, did not close the game, trying to bring the ball to the wings.

The two defenses of the two teams did not give in, remaining with a score acquired after 54 minutes of play. “I am satisfied with the performance of my team, even if we lacked penetration in our initiatives which were far too lateral, making the opposing defense easier” , specified Passage coach Titou Tarozzi, aware that it was not perfect, but happy with an improved victory. “They are stronger than us in conquest, more effective in the scoring zone. We had the opportunities to score, but we couldn’t do it. It is now up to us to correct our mistakes, to work to get closer to their level,” admitted Hugo Belotti, captain of Sporting.
