Very big performance from the Vert et Blancs who won in Lyon!

15th day of TOP 14

The anger and frustration after Brive gave way to re-mobilization, to reaction. A word that suits the Greens and Whites who once again have shown all their strength of character, their solidarity and their determination to maintain the Section.

They patiently built this victory by drawing lessons from the last meetings. Applied, patient, more disciplined, good managers, our Béarnais are not distraught and constantly chased the Lyonnais when they were not ahead.

“A team victory” greeted Samuel Marques, from the 1st to the 80th, holder or substitute, everyone gave 200%.
Aggressive defense, offensive phases which caused the Lyonnais to retreat more than once, a good conquest and above all a moderate management of cold blood were the keys to this victory at the Matmut Stadium in Gerland.

“The maintenance is not taken for all that” rightly reminded Samuel Marques when Paul Tito appreciated “an intelligent rugby, a great performance of the team”.

The test refused to Thibault Debaes just before the break did not panic the Palois, they continued to grab points, including penalties by blaming the LOU (14 penalties). “This victory does not make you forget Brive but it feels good! In management, we have a good game, that was important. We didn’t give anything easily. »Admitted Quentin Lespiaucq.

Recovering 4 points in the Rhône was not easy, but our Vert et Blanc did it! “We will build on this victory. ”Savored Paul Tito, the first foundations are laid, it will be necessary to continue to lay the other stones during the next deadlines: displacement to Toulouse, reception of Toulon in particular before facing the UBB.
