Returned to second position after its card against Nevers, Biarritz once again fell back into its failings (33-15 defeat), Thursday evening during the 10th day of Pro D2 on the lawn of Mont-de-Marsan, which restarts after two defeats.
Clearly, Biarritz no longer knows how to move on. Unable in recent weeks to put together two good performances in a row, the BO, which must begin to find the time very long since its full success at the start of the season (three victories in the first three matches) has confirmed its current ailment by suffering a new relapse (33-15), this Thursday evening at Mont-de-Marsan in an advanced match of the 10th day of Pro D2. This Mons team which remained on two defeats, including one against Aurillac during its last home outing, nevertheless had nothing of war lightning on paper for these Biarrots who had regained second place during the last day by correcting Nevers on their lawn at the Aguilera stadium. This was to forget the very conflicting relations between the BO and travel. The Basques have only won once away from home, this unique success now dates back two months (September 5 in Béziers) and these difficulties far from Aguilera had obviously not escaped the Montois. As they are accustomed to, the Yellow and Black started the meeting with a bang and without any complexes. A move which allowed them to find the fault after five minutes following an interception and a lightning counter concluded in a second phase by Luka Goginava, author of his first try since his arrival from Grenoble.
Kibirige ruins Mont-de-Marsan’s hopes of bonuses
We had to wait 25 minutes of play (when the score was already 10-0) to see Biarritz react, with a superb acceleration from Imanol Biscay, starting from behind his scrum and rewarded with his first try, he who knew his second tenure only. A test that seemed like a flash in the pan. Before the hour mark this time, it was once again the poorly classified player who got the reward for his efforts, with a try from his winger Pierre Sayerse while the BO were playing with fourteen men. A try from Raphaël Robic (on a superb inspiration at the foot of Théo Cortes) later and the Montois could start dreaming of improving their great success. Unfortunately for Mont-de-Marsan, this last try of the match was the inevitable Zach Kibirige who scored it for Biarritz just before the siren. This victory nevertheless does the Montois the greatest good. While the BO will still have to wait before confirming a victory.
