Disappointed, almost dejected. With the mine of bad days, Renaud Gourdon, the coach of the CCR sought at the end of the meeting the explanations for this defeat of his players against Langon, without fighting. However, on the warm-up field, the feeling of cohesion and collective strength emanated from this new group with a common past that was too fair, for the moment.
C’Chartres Rugby strengthens its second line by recruiting a former South African international
From the first balls played, the CCR stammered its rugby, and an interception of the visitors quickly brought the danger into the 22 premises. Luiters saved the first try, but on the following scrum, the Bordeaux power was appreciated. The transformation was a formality for Bertrand who was starting his festival. In total, the Langlois striker will find the poles on the two transformations (6 and 49), easy, and on four penalties (15, 26, 56, 77), some at long distance.
The problem was there for the men of Renaud Gourdon. Once again, they were too unruly, especially with a referee a bit picky, for both camps! “We had twenty penalties against us, afterwards the coach from Chartres. We make too many mistakes, we cannot win under these conditions. “
A big lack … of everything
Fortunately for the CCR, Thomas Roche, its striker, was also effective with a new 100% at the end of his right shoe. But with only three scoring possibilities, he alone couldn’t turn the tide. Half-time was reached 9-16 after the magnificent drop signed by opener Dimitri (36th).
C’Chartres Rugby had played 15 … against 16 in Arcachon: match to replay!
Upon returning from the locker room, the public expected a reaction of pride. There was only one transformed try to delay, the case was not yet lost. But this long-awaited reaction never came. The defense offered a nice breach in the 50th minute in which Castagnier rushed (9-23, 49 ‘). Gourdon then brought fresh blood into its ranks. Diallo was trying to breakthroughs but the defense of the Langon did not fold. Not immediately.
On a touch of five meters, the machine in Chartres woke up and allowed hooker Paul Bertolino to be at the end of the only test in Chartres (16-26, 60 ‘). There were twenty minutes left to play. There is plenty of time to catch up. For that, it would have been necessary to show more desire. It was not the case !
