the essential
Established at the back, Franck Pourteau alternated good and bad with the SUA, during the defeat in Biarritz.
In the composition simmered by Sébastien Calvet was yet another surprise from the chef. Already at the back against Dax, Franck Pourteau was established there, two and a half years after his last stint under the Montalban colors.
The strategy in Biarritz was simple: have a superior footy game, in addition to Billy Searle, to succeed in pushing the Basques into their camp.

And this, despite the presence of Jaminet and Dolhagaray. So what assessment can we really draw from Franck Pourteau’s match? First, a good start to the match with good occupation and above all two penalties passed allowing the SUA to take the score.
With, in passing, a penalty collected after an act of anti-play by his friend Beheregaray following a candle. On the other hand, in this first period, we will also note this failed attempt at the start of the match from almost fifty meters; and above all a missed penalty.

Two missed kicks
The second period proved more complicated for the native Béarnais. Put under pressure in the 42nd minute, he missed a throw-in clearance which would have allowed his team to breathe.
The ball finally landed in the arms of Jaminet, putting the pressure back on the Agenais. Finally penalized, they received a try a few moments later accompanied by a yellow card against Arnaud Duputs.

Another miss, on the last Basque try. Here again, Pourteau does not find the touch but the arms of Jaminet. Who lifts the ball, clears two defenders, and offers the try to winger Kibirige.
Two misses with big consequences even if, to counterbalance the results, we will remember the successful shots on goal, largely offering the defensive bonus to the Lot-et-Garonnais. Will the Pourteau experience at the back be repeated against Colomiers?
