A week after its successful success against Dax, Colomiers gave this to Béziers (17-29). The teammates of Caleb Timu sign an authentic feat, their fourth victory of the season outside, to join the Top 6.
The first leg had been crazy. Punctuated by a farandole of tests and an improbable score (40-44). Enough to augur a perfume of revenge this Friday, January 24, 2025, on the lawn of the Raoul-Barrière stadium in Béziers. As soon as the warm -up, the microphones well placed by the diffuser, had suggested a small sentence pronounced by the Columérin staff: “We are better than them guys”. A sentence heard from wear by all rugby fans, but a sentence that was verified this evening, after a match accomplished for revanchards and winners (17-29).
Colomiers full gas
Wind in the back for several weeks, and with confidence in circumstance, visitors hit the match early, with a first try by Rodrigo Marta. The winger benefits from a pass with the cord of Sadek Deghmache on the forty meters from Biterrois. He pierces the defensive line and his hooks wreak havoc in the Hérault Defense (4th, 0-7).
The locals take time to get into the game. More borrowed than usual. In need of balloon success, they resigned themselves to trying penalties, unlike their identity. Samuel Marques succeeds three (13th, 22nd, 31st) to take the lead in the score (31st, 9-7). These points scored, screened as you go, give confidence to a team that is gradually reassuring, in the game … but which will undergo the second visitor test. On one of their rare possession, Timu and his family are progressing quickly in the Hérault camp to the point of being five meters from the line. Behind a ruck, Béchu raises the ball and plunges into the in-goal (34th, 9-14). On its second dangerous action, the dove has just marked its second try.
-Realistic and precise
The gap in the break at the break, does not ensure anything redhibitory. Especially since the men of Pierre Caillet have already managed to reverse the trend last week on the lawn of Soyaux-Agoulême. Besides, they quickly register points on the return from the locker room (42nd, 12-14). But too quickly, Béziers falls back into his faults. His bullet possessions are sterile and this team, so quick to make a good game, fails to be tonight. On the contrary, the Columérins take advantage of the superb Nu'u work in the center of the field, which sends Timu to the wing, register the test of the offensive bonus (51st, 12-21). In numerical superiority for a few minutes, following the yellow cardboard card, the skies and whites will even benefit a second time. Deghmache is at the conclusion of a very nice ball up (57th, 12-26). The time of play has not passed, but Colomiers has just killed the match.
The last Languedoc test, written by Arroyo (70th, 17-29) does not change the physiognomy of the match. Colomiers signs a fourth victory in five games and continues to look forward.
