RC : match summary

Top 14 (9th day). USA – RC : 32-13

A painful start to the match

Try refused for Ruru in the first minute and converted try from Jerónimo De la Fuente three minutes later. Entering the match must have left a bitter taste for the people of Vannes. If their scrum half flattened well in the first seconds of play after a change of possession following a Breton scratch and an interval found by Beziat, the scratch of the ball did not respect the rules. In the 4th minute, the Argentinian Jerónimo De la Fuente left his camp after having kicked the ball several times who found Veredamu near the touchline, who put it back inside for the Puma who was running between the posts (7-0, 4'). In less than five minutes, the Bretons suffered a disappointment on each side of the field…

The key still faulty

RCV followers know this. Conquest is not really the strong point of the Vannes in recent weeks. This Saturday, it was the touch that caused the problem. There was notably the stolen touch in the Perpignan camp by the Catalans in the 31st minute and which, a minute later, led indirectly to a new try refused (at Buliruarua) to the Catalans after a maul following a…(news) touch. The one in favor of the Bretons, just before the break and five meters from the blood and gold line, did not give a try despite a succession of “pick and go”. Reason for hope, the ball carried after a touch from Perpignan five meters from the line was well defended by the Morbihannais (77'). But a minute later, it was again after a throw-in (and a few individual charges) that the Catalans scored through Fa'aso'o. Enough to give Perpignan the offensive bonus. When it doesn't want to, it doesn't want to…

Where is the Vannes attack?

Deprived of balls, the Bretons especially needed “turnovers” to shine, like the refused try or Rayasi's run on his left wing caught by Maxim Granell (56'). It was this same Granell, 19, who put an end to Morbihan's hopes in the 62nd minute with a try at the end of the line. The entry a few moments earlier of the Italian international Stephen Varney (even if he dared with his foot pass for Ayarza in his own camp in the 71st minute) for his first in the Vannes jersey in place of Michael Ruru, had little influence on the match even if the Italian had chosen to direct the game in the right direction for Rayasi's try. The only one of the match for the Vannetais while the Bretons have the 7th attack in the championship… On the defense side, in any case, if we are far from the 55 points conceded in Clermont-Ferrand, the RCV is still last in the standings with more than 30 units conceded per match on average.
