There was no miracle this Friday, October 6, at Parnasse in Nîmes, where the Septors, despite a good defensive performance, lost, 22-25, on the ground of a co-leader opponent of the Starligue at the kick-off of the game and still undefeated in the league after five days.
Fabien Courtial’s men, as usual, resisted a lot and for a long time: 13-14, at the break, then 20-21, in the 50th minute of play, before letting the two victory points slip away. And this, “because of a few losses of ball, missed shots”, sighed Hadrien Ramond, the captain of the promoted team, during a hot debrief. “I think Nîmes was a little scared. We weren’t far away, once again,” he added.
When analyzing the Saracens setback, it will be appropriate to highlight the sanctions to which the Septors are subject. Six temporary exclusions of two minutes during the hour of play, some of which were very severe like that inflicted on Romuald Kollé (39th) for not having stopped his action early enough… It will also be a question of underlining the enormous second half delivered by Alexandre Demaille, the Nîmes goalkeeper, author of a “stats” line with a 57% success rate.
