Thomas Girard, Colomiers’ rear, is not the type to shiver when he rushes for a penalty that is synonymous with success. On Friday 14 October, USON was able to verify this and saw the victory slip away immediately after the siren (21-19). Cruel outcome for Neversois, who led the score throughout the match and who had even ten points ahead of the start of the second act. But, wanting too much to manage their advantage, they may have forgotten to play, which they had succeeded in the first half, and, by dint of suffering, they allowed Colomiers to patiently get back in the score.

After the frustration, the USON staff saw something positive in their team’s performance. “Between the points lost at home to Biarritz and this defeat, he is starting to do a lot. We are not paid while there are many positives in this match. It’s a shame because we don’t validate this great burst of energy and the progress we are showing, “noted Guillaume Jan, three quarter coach.
Our very aggressive defense hindered them a lot, but we sometimes lose control, which could explain some mistakes.
We saw this progress in the first half, with well-constructed sequences, all served as domination in the duels. “We are not far from scoring a try at the end of the first half, which could have been a turning point. After we suffered too much in the second half, we didn’t see the ball and we made a mistake. Our very aggressive defense hindered them a lot, but we sometimes lose control, which could explain some mistakes. “
Even in pain, USON had the opportunity to get out of it. First of all thanks to the scrum, which scored important penalties that allowed the team to leave their field. But, on the contrary, the key did not follow, returning the possessions to Colomiers. Five minutes from the end, a 50:22 by Kylian Jaminet could also have marked the fate of this match in favor of Neversois.
But the ball was out of place again. Finally, in the final sequence of play, USON commits a pass forward without pressure, then offering Colomiers one last chance. In these moments, the Columérins are not wrong this season and Edoardo Gori has been able to play intelligently to win this last penalty.

Erase mistakes
“When you are ten points ahead, you tell yourself that you don’t have to panic, that you have to go back to their place and make no mistake. It is just the opposite that happens ”, regrets Julien Kazubek, the third row Neversois. “It is frustrating not to be rewarded and not to go home with the victory we came for, because we have been doing the right thing for a long time. Now we must be able to erase these mistakes that penalize us. Because we do good things, but we don’t get points. “
There, we are frustrated and disappointed to have lost this match, but at the beginning of the season it was not written that Colomiers would play face to face on his lawn on the seventh day.
USON does not forget that it started a little further than expected this summer. “After the preparatory matches, we were worried and asked ourselves where we were going,” admits Julien Kazubek.
“There, we are frustrated and disappointed to have lost this match, but at the beginning of the season it was not written that Colomiers would play face to face on his lawn on the seventh day. The mayonnaise is taking and I think we will do great things this season. “
With this defensive bonus, USON are two points behind sixth place, before receiving Aix-en-Provence, who have just started their season by going to win in Grenoble.
