It was not a match with great flights. Nor a very controlled meeting. However, theRowing Bayonnais displayed impressive discipline this Saturday during his victory against Castres (33-12) for the thirteenth day of Top 14.

Third best performance of the season in the discipline

Among the most disciplined teams in the championship before this day (4th), Bayonne struck a big blow in this area against the Tarnais. The men of Gregory Patat conceded only six penalties over the entire match, a first this season for the Basque club which arrives just behind the performances of Bordeaux-Bègles (10th day) and La Rochelle (5th day) which included one less.

Above all, the Bayonne made up for it after committing 23 penalized faults last weekend on the lawn of Valves. There is no doubt that the Rowing players worked in this area this week despite the Christmas holidays to rectify the situation and display, after thirteen matches, an average of 11 penalties conceded per match.

6 touches lost by Castres

Opposite, the partners of Rémy Bagetauthor of a double against his former club, did not experience the same mastery. Several errors allowed the Basque scorers to score 16 points to secure their success. Add to this the 6 keys lost by the Castrais and you have the perfect cocktail synonymous with outside setbacks.

Bayonne provisionally climbs onto the Top 14 podium thanks to its success before Toulon's match in Bordeaux on Saturday evening. For his part, Castres moves away from the top 6 before receiving Pau next week to launch the return phase of the championship.
