Friendly – Between two formations which signed their first friendly meeting, it is Colomiers who emerges victorious from this trial run between Pro D2 clubs.
From the start of the meeting, Soyaux-Angoulême, who will advance this season with the promoted costume, shows the face that allowed him to come back from National, just one year after his relegation from Pro D2. At the fall of the kick-off, Brosset recovers the ball in the air, launches an attractive first phase of the game. The ball-in-hand sequences follow one another, but possession ends with a dropped ball.
If Soyaux-Angoulême tries to play, the Charentais are dominated in melee and in conquest. Colomiers is more precise, more incisive and opens the scoring thanks to Larrieu, at the conclusion of a carried ball (0-5, 6th). The Columérins then accentuate their domination, Soyaux-Angoulême makes a mistake and Lafitte receives a yellow card. In the process, Colomiers made the break thanks to a strong try from Pacheco converted by Seguy (0-12, 25th). On the dismissal Colomiers is dispossessed of the ball, but does not take long to regain the ascendancy at the median, Auriac fixes the Angoumois defense before launching Galthié on a plateau, Seguy transforms (0-19, 27th).
Soyaux-Angoulême reacts
At the end of the first act, the Angoumoisins initiate a new dynamic with fresh blood. Insufficient to score, at the break, it was Colomiers who took the lead (0-19).
Returning from the locker room, Colomiers is the first to chain a long sequence in the 22 meters Angoumois. After several failures near the line, it was Kolokilagi who found the key to the Angoumois defense, Seguy converted (0-26). Always dominated in front, the SA XV frees itself and is more precise on its possessions. On a pass at the foot of Botica, Lestremau resists the Columérin return to register the first Charente try of the meeting, Botica transforms (7-26). Colomiers then resumed his domination and Seguela scored the fifth try for Columérins applied (7-33). The match then becomes totally unbridled. While tempers were heating up in the 40-metre columérins, the organization of Julien Sarraute’s men was totally out of order, the spaces opened up and it was Raïvono who took the lead on his right wing before flattening (12 -33). Anxious to try and offer some play, Soyaux-Angoulême exposes itself and takes a final try. Very prominent in the second act, it is Seguela who goes there with his double, Seguy transforms and completes his success.
Three weeks before the resumption of the Pro D2 championship, Colomiers showed a pretty face, while the promoted Angoumoisin will still have to gain momentum. The SA XV will start at home against Vannes, while Colomiers will host Carcassonne.
