Hallelujah! The flags were raised: last Saturday, against Tarbes, on its Jean Etcheberry pitch, Vienne won its first match since the start of the National championship by 13 to 11.
A highly anticipated victory for supporters who hope that CS Vienne Rugby, dead last in the championship, can finally, by racking up a few victories, by garnering bonus points, finally move away from the dangerous red zone.
This is why we were expecting a lot today on Saturday, October 21, from the match played away in Narbonne, by the Viennese cheered up by this latest victory, at home.
Now, Narbonne, more than Tarbes, is heavy. During the previous seven days of the championship, it is a club which still beat Bourgoin, Nice, as well as Blagnac. And which is installed in 5th place: it is one of the teams likely to move up. In short, a big team.
Against her, the Viennese tried to put on a good show, but it was difficult, very difficult.
From the start, in the 2nd minute, the Narbonnais wearing the pink “Pink October” jerseys flattened the first try, with, it must be admitted, a certain ease (7/0). The Viennese defense was then absent…
The Viennese then took it upon themselves and knew how to react, until the end of the first half, scoring a converted try in the 40th minute; but unfortunately before seeing the score widen to their detriment during the second half.
In the end, the Viennese conceded no less than…six tries, including four in the second part of the match.
With this result the Narbonnais who left with the offensive bonus become co-leader, while Vienna remains tied to the role of red lantern.
Will the next match see the return of victory to the Viennese camp? Saturday November 4, Vienna will welcome an opponent more within its reach, Hyères-Carqueiranne, for a match which will already be part of the race for the play-off place. Bold Viennese, nothing is lost yet!
