Like all the members of the top 6, Colomiers won… in Oyonnax on Friday evening. A major performance that augurs well for a nice spring for a Columérine team that is still shrinking, but which shows that it has quite a few reserves.
“We released the ideal match and tonight we may have played our best rugby,” savored Julien Sarraute after a four-point encounter. Picked cold at the start, the visitors will once again have demonstrated their propensity to never let go and have taken their own game in a clumsy and ill-inspired Oyonnaxian formation. “For me, this match is a great example of what we are able to achieve with enthusiasm. The enthusiasm and the willingness of the boys to put in place what we have been working on this week satisfy me,” savors Julien Sarraute.
Going and pleasure found
Very effective in offensive and defensive pressing, the Columerins thus managed to deprive an experienced opponent of balls. “This match was also the pleasure to see that working for the future pays off. The young people (Djehi, Moro without forgetting the newcomers, Saurs and Erasmus, Editor’s note) behaved very well. I also saw players find energy and fun in the offensive sector “, relishes the coach. Faced with a direct competitor in the play-offs and then on equal points, Colomiers also took his opponent to his own game, avoiding the horrors of the Oyonnaxian kicks by a very good grid of the ground and by putting rhythm, reaching quickly to raise the balloons to settle in the opposing camp. “The possession of the ball gave us confidence. Everything was not perfect, there are still small details to correct and it is sometimes the last gesture that we missed, but this match also showed that the we want to fight to be in the top six “testifies Jules Soulan, future resident of the Haut-Bugey club. Now only fourth in the general classification, Colomiers can turn to the reception of Provence Rugby. “Aix had a very difficult week with the sudden disappearance of one of theirs. They are also experiencing a reshuffle. Two reasons which certainly weighed on their defeat at home (18-16 against Mont-de-Marsan, Editor’s note). They will arrive with us next week with intentions. This is also why we do not want to project ourselves too much after this victory either. We are going to project ourselves on Aix, beyond this match that does not interest me ” concludes Julien Sarraute, always as measured as he is cautious.
