Pau sinks at home against Racing 92 (23-33) and sinks to the bottom of the rankings

Despite a clear domination in terms of possession (59%) and occupation (63%), the Paloise Section failed to capitalize on the Paris region's indiscipline in the first period (eight penalties). And in particular on the double numerical superiority which resulted from it (11^e-21^e). And even if Pau scored for the first time this season on a carried ball (7-0, 11^e), he showed too much waste in the 40 meters of Ile-de-France. Like Grandidier's poorly adjusted pass (20^e) or these three balls lost in touch during the first 40 minutes.

Helpless

After the break, Racing managed to achieve what the Béarnais club was unable to do. Double numerically inferior after an unfair play by Picquette (45^e) and a voluntary offside from Williams (47^e), Racing took the lead again. First in strength (13-13, 47^e), then thanks to a kick from Gibert towards Naituivi, on a bare opposite wing (20-13, 50^e).

The Ile-de-France duo did it again five minutes later, in front of an Attissogbe who was each time helpless defensively (20-25, 65^e). Even if in the meantime, Pau had the merit of achieving a huge highlight by concentrating the sky and white curtain before stretching it (20-20, 62^e).

The power of the Ile-de-France attack line will once again take precedence over the Béarnaise defense thanks to the inevitable Tuisova, who on her wing, offered the winning try to Sam James (23-33, 75^e). Pau pushed after the siren to score a try synonymous with a defensive bonus, but came up against the Racing defense.
