These are two teams looking for points who met this Sunday on the Alary meadow. But Lavaur, the red lantern of the hen, missed the boat. However, the team started the meeting with flying colors, immediately asserting its ambitions. Imposing their presence in the rucks, they dominated the first period, while Castelsarrasin struggled to effectively support his ball carriers and accumulated fouls.
After a flurry of scorers, the visitors remained sterile despite the locals occupying the field. They still continue their territorial domination, while the CAC accumulates sanctions. On the second foul in the scrum, Atia received a toast, when Benjamin Sicard was definitively excluded just after the first half hour, following a bad gesture reported by an assistant referee. This red card wakes up the Cacistes, who regain momentum and finally take control of the game, allowing Reymond to score after a splendid screwed pass from Eridia. The local fireworks player failed to convert, and the two teams were at 8-9 at the break.
Defensive bonus
Returning from the locker room, the Vauréens expressed the same intentions, and we started again with an exchange of scorers. But fatigue is felt on the visitors’ side, and the bench does not fulfill its role. Lavaur ended up being sanctioned in turn, giving in under the repeated assaults of the third cacist line and the powerful charges of Mguca and Naudé.
It is also these two players who will break the Tarn lock. Naudé advances first from his camp and serves Mguca who, as with each of his impacts, puts his team in the lead. From then on, the opposing defense tightened and the outsiders became free. The local hinge quickly spreads the leather, Byl frames and overtakes the last defender, going to score the liberating try for victory. After some bickering, Lavaur returned to the defensive bonus, but it was too late, and the locals won the match painfully.
