Yes, they let slip the offensive bonus point that they would have fully deserved to gain, the Saudrunois. In added time, what's more, their very last attempt to reconquer the fifth unit in question failed just a few meters from the visiting goal. Yes, they have, due to lack of transmission, “fallen from the balloons” in significant numbers, the said waste allowing their hosts to ultimately get away with it. But aside from that, what a match!
What a match from a pack that not many people expected at such a party last night, as they were missing so many potential starters. And yet… On almost every introduction, the Aude scrum suffered martyrdom, the whistle attendant not sufficiently rewarding in our eyes the formidable work of undermining the front five. The referee music would obviously not have been the same two levels higher but we will have the opportunity to talk about that again in due time.
The right strategy
However, there were two elements in the opposite camp who had known the Federal 1 in the Pink City: Tchouta and Ankour, not to name them. A wasted effort… If the light cavalry of the coalitions of the upper valley can be credited with a first act of very good quality in terms of speed of execution, the protégés of Romain Pissinis and Yannick Lussac were able, in the wake of a simply royal Subin-Estrade team, adopt the appropriate strategy. One try, then a second. The exchange of pleasantries, at the very start of the second half, changed nothing, with only two of the main perpetrators of global warming each receiving ten minutes in the “fridge”.
Saudrune took an option on the improved victory (three tries to zero) before the contribution of the bench made its effects felt on the defeated side. No matter, the position is consolidated. And as the night brings advice, sleep will be even more restorative.
