the French stadium cooled by Bayonne, Brive to courage

Missed reunion. The French Stadium, for its return to its land after a long time, fell against Bayonne, a team in shape (19-26), Friday during the 3rd day of the Top 14, also marked by the first defeat of Pau.

The Parisians played their first match at the Jean-Bouin stadium since February 15 and their success against La Rochelle (21-20). In a fresh atmosphere, with only 1,000 spectators due to the health context, the “pink soldiers” failed to confirm the convincing success achieved in Castres (22-16) almost three weeks ago.

Pau beaten in Brive

Astonishing so far, the Pau club has also suffered its first setback of the season, in Brive (19-13) at the end of a match marked by three red cards, two on the Brivist side and one for the Section.

Despite their numerical inferiority, the Brivists held onto their advantage obtained in the first period (16-13) thanks to a try from the Argentine winger Axel Muller Aranda and the success in front of the poles of the French back Thomas Laranjeira. They thus sign their second success, after that obtained on the first day against Bayonne (42-23).
