Clermont left Castres no chance this Saturday. Large winners of the Tarnais, the Jaunards took advantage of the insolent form of Barnabé Massa and George Moala.
The Tops
George Moala : 8,5/10
King George is definitely back. Author of an XXL performance against Lyon, Moala did it again against Castres Olympique. Author of countless meters covered thanks to his diabolical breakthroughs, the Tongan reminded Christophe Urios that he was the boss of the Auvergne centers. Because at his best level, Moala is alone in the world in the number 12 position. With an average start to the season, below the legitimate expectations of his coach, Moala rose like a champion. Promising…
Barnabas Massa: 8/10
The Clermont hooker chomped at the bit before exploding. Before the reception in Castres, Barnabé Massa had not started a meeting with ASM since a disastrous trip to Toulouse on October 12. For his first tenure at Michelin, the former Grenoble native pleased his supporters. By perfectly driving two devastating carried balls, Massa finished the race of the yellow and blue truck in the in-goal. With his first double under the Auvergne tunic, Massa started his meeting ideally, with the added bonus of several sharp runs in the running game. Released during the break for the benefit of Etienne Fourcade, Barnabé Massa performed his first major performance with the ASM. And in the absence of Folau Fainga'a, the former Isère player scored valuable points in the mind of Christophe Urios…
The Flops
Gaëtan Barlot: 3.5/10
The Auvergnat by birth was not imperial in Clermont. The helmeted hooker misplaced several important throws, especially in the yellow and blue camp. In the running game, Gaëtan Barlot tried to bring out his natural power but, unfortunately, it did not do enough damage to disrupt the Clermont defense. A return to Auvergne to forget for the hooker from ASM…
Nathanaël Hulleu: 3.5/10
It was a long evening for the talented Castres winger. Deprived of balls for a major part of the match, Nathanaël Hulleu was, despite himself, at the origin of Clermont's first try by sending a confused pass to Jérémy Fernandez, guilty of a forward, in the 15th minute of play. rest, Hulleu and his wing partner Baget experienced a sad encounter in the middle of the Michelin…
