UA Vergt carried out a good operation by winning and depriving its opponent of the day of a defensive bonus point. With this victory, the Périgourdins regain fifth place in the group.
However, the Vernois did not get off to an ideal start. After a first penalty given to the visitors, the UAV conceded a try in the 5th minute. After several periods of play in the 22 meters of Vern, Riom scores the first try of the match (0-7, 6th). Furthermore, a quarter of an hour into the game, Faucher was forced to leave his partners with a shoulder injury.
The UAV will react after a quarter of an hour of play. After a maul from the sideline, the Vernois will move the ball to the wing of Sucharaud who flattens it into a corner (7-7, 21st). In the process, the visitors obtain a penalty, but Labussière sees his kick end up on the post.
More injured
The Périgourdins were penalized too much during this first period. At a lower cost because, on three occasions, the Riom scorer did not find the target. It was on an “eighty-nine” at the end of the scrum that Vergt scored a second try, through Magne (14-7, 29th). Riom recovers. On a follow-up kick from Sol, the referee awards a penalty try (14-14, 35th) for a delayed tackle.
Sucharaud goes out for ten minutes on a yellow card. Just before the break, Lozeille gave his team the advantage from a penalty. As soon as the restart, it was Soto’s turn to leave his partners, severely injured in the knee. The Vernois will leave a good amount of ammunition in touch immediately, but recover the penalty in the scrum that follows.
Vidalie flattens the third Périgord try (14-24, 49th). Riom does not give up, Sol will first overwhelm the Vern defense before serving his scrum half Elambert for Auvergne’s third try (24-21, 52nd). Lozeille gives his team some breathing room again by adding three points (27-21, 58th).
Riom tries everything for everything, but the local defense holds on. In the last minute, Lozeille again scored a penalty, which took away the defensive bonus from Riom.
The opinion of Mathieu Dorotte (captain of Vergt). “We came across a very playful team who knew how to feed off our mistakes. We knew we needed this victory after the draw against Bergerac, it’s done. We did a great job at the end of the match by taking away the defensive bonus. »
