Carcassonne takes its time – ladepeche.fr

After the incomplete copy delivered the previous Saturday on the Avignon side, Alexis Escamilla and his brothers were keen to show more consistency and application in the face of this Villeneuvoise team which moved to the foot of the City without the shadow of a complex.

If the visitors arrive with their entire foreign legion, their hosts must deal with the absences of four of their forwards. Which forced Fred Camel and Teddy Sadaoui to reshape their pack, in which Vincent Albert occupies the unusual second line position.

However, these modifications do not appear to alter the good fueling of the Aude collective, which seems to have learned the Vaucluse lesson. In fact, we had been playing for barely five minutes when a candle from Herrero disrupted the opposing rearguard as it fell, to the delight of the opportunistic Serulevu. Just in time to set the table again, Vincent Albert powerfully breaks the line on a line serve from Herrero and, with the complicity of the latter's boot, gives his team a twelve-point lead. But, as the Lot-et-Garonnais do not intend to be impressed, they do not hesitate to bring the danger into the Carcassonne camp. And this is how Moule offers the feet a caviar which Rouillard delights in to put his team back in the match (12-6). If the Canaries resume their domination, numerous blunders prevent them from making it happen on the scoreboard.

From the start, the “green and white” appeared threatening but the local defense kept a watchful eye. And, a long descent from Escamilla finding Escaré inside gives some breathing space to his team (18-6). Lucas Albert, with a superb feint pass, then opens the royal route, before leaving it open for Drodrolagi. From then on, there is only one team on the field, and Herrero, after a kick for himself, does it again. However, it is up to the volunteer Bachoukh to close the ban, thus rewarding a team which showed an attractive face but for which the march was still a little too high yesterday.
