At the break, even after being reduced to a numerical inferiority for twenty minutes (yellow cards against Manu Tuilagi in the 15th, then Esteban Capilla in the 27th) the visitors, more sharp and efficient in attack, united and hermetic in defense, had managed to take an advantage (11-21) which they then managed to maintain, taking advantage of Breton indiscipline to score two penalty goals signed by Joris Segonds (46th, 53rd). At the end of the match, Vannes launched into a last stand, materialized by a strong try by Patrick Leafa (80th, 21-27) but could not do better despite two successive penalties and a final ball carried.
