Pro D2 – In Dantean conditions, the Montois correct undisciplined Brive players

At the end of the first block, Brive had the opportunity to send a message to Pro D2 but the Montois had their say. This Friday evening, Mont de Marsan got back on track by finishing the first block of the championship in the best possible way. The teammates of Willie Du Plessis corrected (33-11) this Friday, one of the contenders for the rise to the Top 14 during the fifth day after a start to the match with twists and turns.

Stunning Montois

At the start of the match, the Brivists were the first to go on the offensive. From the second minute, Curwin Bosch launched his team at the foot (0-3, 2nd). Five minutes later, Pierre-Henry Broncan’s players hit the nail on the head with a carried ball. Lucas Da Silva flattens forcefully in the Mons in-goal (0-8, 7th). In the process, the Montois benefit from a counter on a clearance from Léo Carbonneau. The ball returns to the hands of Lagivala who uses his speed to flatten between the poles (7-8, 10th). The rain arrives in a rush at the André-et-Guy-Boniface stadium and disrupts the Brivists who begin to make a series of mistakes.

Despite a penalty from Bosch (7-11, 12th), the Stade Montois players took the full measure of this meeting whose scenario was completely reversed. At the half-hour mark, Wakaya quickly played a hand penalty before the ball went out to De Nardi on the left wing. The rear resists Johnson’s return and flattens (12-11, 30th). The first act of this poster ends with two penalties from Willie Du Plessis to push the Brivistes back to a converted try (18-11, 40 + 3rd).

Brivists silent for more than 70 minutes

Returning from the locker room, the Brivists return with other intentions but Curwin Bosch experiences another failure (18-11, 43rd). It was enough to allow the Montois to move up a gear and take off with the score. Stéphane Coulon uses video to provide an essay by Nicolas Darquier. After the viewing, the match referee awards the try and Stade Montois takes off (23-11, 48th). After two failures at the foot, Willie Du Plessis pushes Brive back to 15 points after a penalty before the hour mark (26-11, 59th).

Three minutes later, the locals knocked out the Brivistes, undisciplined and cornered. De Nardi intercepts the ball after a scramble and serves Iashaghashvili who finds Wakaya. The three-quarter center sends Wakaya into orbit (33-11, 63rd). At the end of the match, the Brivistes were under pressure and cleared the ball against the excited Montois who won this match with the offensive bonus, concluding the first block ideally. In two weeks, Lagivala and its partners will travel to Nice to try to ride this great dynamic. On the Brive side, Léo Carbonneau and his partners will welcome Biarritz for a top-of-the-table clash between two contenders for the Top 14.
