When the penultimate receives the last, it adds pressure to the locals. This is perhaps what “stuck” the Chartrains during the first half hour. As usual, Thomas Roche, the home scorer, ensured with his kick (100% efficiency) on a first penalty from the 5th minute. Saint-Denis trapped the CCR on a restart of its 22 meters that its captain Martocq concluded after a crazy race (3-7, 27 ‘). Roche closed the gap (6-7, 30 ‘) and passed the torch to his forwards. The pack displayed such physical power that the Dionysians couldn’t contain it.
Eight big guys
Just like this scrum at 5 meters, perfectly orchestrated by the 3rd center line Tafili who was spinning, like a grown-up, as a good captain for a day, registering the first of the five tests in Chartres for the day. The offensive pressure of the Blues was a second time rewarded by a breakthrough between the lines of the rear N’diaye who even allowed himself to flatten under the posts, making the task even easier for his striker Roche in this second transformation (20 -7, 38 ‘).
premium Chartres must drive the point home against Saint-Denis
Back on the pitch, C’Chartres Rugby had the same good intentions. Renaud Gourdon’s men, for once very disciplined, took advantage of good won balls. At the hour of play, while they were evolving at 15 against 14, for a tackle a little high on the part of an Ile-de-France, the CCR players found the line of happiness by Camara, just returned (27-7 , 57 ‘), then Delana (34-7, 63’) and finally Massyn (41-7, 69 ‘). Each time, Roche, the 100% CCR gentleman, went through the transformation. The perfect afternoon, morale on the rise and the bonus in the pocket.
