Brive has a third victory in a row for the first time this season. CA Brive largely beat Montauban this Thursday evening 37 to 22 in its Stadium. After two victories in a row against Colomiers et NicePierre-Henry Broncan's men make the 3 pass in a very good way.
With an outrageous domination in the first period: over the first 30 minutes, Montauban will only have possession of the ball twice with two messed up touches. The Brivists pressed numerous times, putting Sébastien Tillous-Borde's players at fault with two yellow cards. At the break, Brive leads 17 to 3 and has the offensive bonus in its pocket thanks to three tries from Ferté, Shvelidze and Johnson.
The return of Montauban and the injury of Stuart Olding
At the break, Brive further dampens the hopes of the Tarn-et-Garonnais by scoring a try by Dridi. But the twist of fate comes 5 minutes after returning to the field with the injury of Stuart Olding. The Irish fly-half fell badly from an aerial ball caught in his own half. Behind, the Brive players conceded a first try from winger Vici, who repeated in the 57th minute. A try which can make the Brivists doubt while Montauban returns to 29-22. In the end, Brive will whip and go for the offensive bonus after a ball carried by Carbonneau.
Before the rest of the 12th day this Friday, CA Brive is leader of Pro D2 with 38 points.
