We will ask ourselves the question for a very long time, glass half empty or half full? Between two teams from the bottom of the standings who need victory to resurface somewhat, it will be a draw which will close the debates, but only draw on the score side because, on both sides, we tried hard to take the game into your own hands. In the first act, fouls after fouls on both sides will make the scorers of each side shine. The proof with a score of parity to the “lemons” (6-6, 40th). The second act will resume for US Nérac, which takes the advantage with a fifty-meter penalty (6-9, 41st). And the visitors hit the nail on the head with a zero pass try based on an interception (6-16, 48th). On both sides, it’s the finishers who come in. The game becomes more involved, but Ligneau hits the mark (6-19, 52nd). At the hour mark, with the contribution of the bench, the locals put on the pressure. Twice, Abardia made trouble (12-19, 65th). Everyone launches into the final battle. In a fourth period of play, Setze, last served, finished between the opposing poles, despite the raising of the flag by the USN linesman Pierre Mantovani, excluded after that (19-19, 68th). The end of the match could have been successful for one or the other, but no one will be able to take one more point, which leaves the two teams with a parity score, and especially last place.
