This Tuesday evening, the CO received Brive as part of the late match of the 4th day of the day. After two consecutive defeats at home against Bordeaux and Clermont, the Tarn had no room for error when faced with a direct competitor in the standings (the 12th against the 13th). In reaction to which, Castres started drastically beating this part. Dominators in the collisions, much more realistic than their evening opponent, Reggiardo’s men concretized their domination with a try from Peterse (14th) in power, then another from Nakosi at the end of the line seven minutes later, on which the second South African line was again involved.
In the process, Brive tried a reaction of pride but nothing helped. The rebounds were on the Castres side and the future Toulouse Anthony Jelonch picked up a messed up ball by the scrum half from Correze to dive into the in-goal. Even before the break, the offensive bonus was in the hands of the locals and we thought the match folded (21 to 6 in the 37th). But it was without counting on a turnaround of the most unexpected in following.
Really a golden guy ???? https://t.co/OS1QvE8u5V

After the locker room, Said Hirèche’s partners were no longer the same and completely confiscated the swelling of apathetic Tarnais. We know that at this level, defending often leads to fault. The Corréziens understood this well and used the 9 penalties conceded by the locals in the second half to take the points and grab their delay thanks to the foot of the impeccable Laranjeira. The rear of the CAB, author of a 7 out of 8, therefore allowed his family to come back completely in the game on the hour mark (21 to 15), before Alex Muller was at the conclusion of a break Olding and does not come to announce an end of the match of madness (24 to 22 in the 68th). And as if that were not enough, Thomas Laranjeira came to enhance his performance with the penalty of the win, more than 50 meters please! 20 personal points, a tenth position in the standings for his troops and a first victory at Castres in 25 years for the CAB. What else ?
