There will be no good series for RC Vannes. Two weeks after its first victory at La Rabine in the Top 14 against Lyon (30-20), the Vannes lost to Racing this Saturday afternoon (24-27). The Vannes players started the match well, and greatly dominated their opponents in the first period, but never managed to make the break. More enterprising, the Ile-de-France residents went ahead without ever letting go of the score.
A completely failed second half
The first half gave us a glimpse of good things. A new touch, a dominating melee, and two attempts, including one at the siren. But Vannes collapsed in the second half, constantly cornered in its own camp to defend. Too big an air gap to hope to bring home a victory.
“We are decisive in the first half, effective in the scoring zoneanalyzes forwards coach Mathieu Cidre. But in the second half, we forgot certain resources. We have to be on task for 80 minutes. The match is frustrating, it’s three points lost.“
An opinion shared by center Alex Arrate. “It’s very frustrating to lose this match. There were a lot of blunders, mistakes. We came up against a team that came back with different intentions in the second half, and we weren’t able to counter that.“.
A few seconds from the end, a try from Thomas Moukoro allowed Rabine to believe it. But yet another inaccuracy put an end to the Vannes dreams. In the ranking, RCV remains stuck in last place. The Vannes will go to Montpellier next week… penultimate and with the same number of points.
