“RCSA outshines Canaries in intense first half at La Beaujoire”

It’s the break at La Beaujoire. Despite a thunderous start in intensity, the Canaries, too rough, were dominated by much fairer visitors collectively. Naive, Castelletto offered the penalty for the opener to the RCSA, then Lafont multiplied the decisive stops to keep Nantes alive. The public, very benevolent during most of the first act, whistles the players at the break.
