The clash at the top between the leader and his runner-up Naucelle gave rise to intense debates culminated in a logical draw as the two teams are of similar value.
A high-flying match
What a game ! This derby between Rouergats and Ségalis, played in front of a big crowd, kept all its promises and gave rise to a match of crazy intensity, committed, virile, sometimes tense but without a winner between, without doubt, the two best teams of the group who fully deserve their current ranking. This equal result with a score of 12 to 12 (halftime 7 to 9) could seem disappointing for the Naucellois but it allows them to finish the first leg undefeated and leaders of the group. On the contrary, this meeting is a reference match for Rouergats in terms of intensity and commitment. It rewards the courage and self-sacrifice of the locals who did not give up after finding themselves outnumbered following a severe red card (cumulative two yellow cards). Captain Florian Mercade's players had a solid match in combat and defense. The opponent, although renowned for its offensive qualities, was unable to find the fault in the Villefranche defense, unlike the locals who crossed the opposing line on two occasions. Only a few bad choices, recurring indiscipline and a total failure of the scorers who lost the trifle of 14 points did not make it possible to obtain a better result.
For the Future: 2 tries from Justin Fabre and Baptiste Gladin, 1 transformation from Moeah Douziech.
The youth center
Traveling to Carmaux, the youth center returns with two successes. The U-16s won with a score of 38 to 31 after a suspenseful match with the liberating try in the last minute of the match.
-For the Future: 5 tries from Pierrick Savignac (2), Enric Fabre, Paulin Rossignol, Joris Capliez, 3 conversions from Joris Capliez.
For the U-19s, victory with a score of 41 to 29 after a controlled match.
For the Future: 6 tries from Maxence Audemar (2), Louis Combes, Noé Hugon, Antonin Fabre, Ewenn Lohezic, 4 conversions from Antonin Fabre (2), Louis Combes and Alexis Briane. All our congratulations to the players and their management.
