Colomiers’ Tough Loss to Biarritz in Pro D2 Opener: Analysis and Highlights

In the coup at the break, Colomiers was largely inclined against Biarritz on Thursday evening (35-18), because of a first period during which Julien Sarraute’s players were not “killers” enough “.

Colomiers lost 35-18 Thursday evening, at the opening of the French Pro D2 championship, and when rehashing the various facts of the match, we can only see that the score is a bit heavy for the team of Julien Sarraute. In the hit at the break (13-13), Colomiers broke down in the second half, faced with the effectiveness of the Basque team, but it was most certainly in the first half that the Haut-Garonnais lost the match. .
In Aguiléra, Colomiers had the ball for almost all of the first 40 minutes, rather dominated and also missed ready-made tries, like this forward from Dulon when he only had more than ‘to flatten (1st).
“The match was played in the first half, regretted the left pillar Guillaume Tartas after the game. We went into the opposing in-goal four times and only scored once. At this level, when you only come out with seven points, it pays off at the end of the match. The Biarrots had their highlights. They put them down. We don’t. Physically, we competed, we weren’t more worn than them, but they showed control and lucidity in the scoring zone. They were offered zero-pass trials. They were more careful about the small details. »

The conquest was good

Despite this inaugural defeat and the injury of Romain Bézian (out in the 6th minute, we fear a broken hand), the Columérins showed interesting things in the Basque Country. First, the scrum was pretty good and on several occasions the visitors bothered the soundtrack in touch. “We also managed to breaker on a few game launches, underlined the pillar from Bayonne. When you cross the line four times, it means that you are offering play, that you are linking several phases! It’s a shame we didn’t manage to score. Also, I think we had a little lack of concentration when we got back from the locker room. »
Finally, Colomiers has certainly lost his second line, Maxime Granouillet, for several weeks, since he received a red card after an elbow on his vis-à-vis Charlie Matthews (65th). “You come back with two wounded and a red. The result is heavy, because you take 30 points, when you have to be at +10 at the break”, summarizes, by way of conclusion, Thomas Larrieu. Inevitably, the pill is hard to swallow.
