Zapping Fifteen World “I’ve come a long way”, Mathieu Bastareaud delights after his strong comeback
Castres Olympique started its Challenge Cup season very well, winning fairly well against Scarlets. The final score of this meeting is 34-16, and the Tarnais emerge from this first meeting with an offensive bonus point.
The CO players started their two halves very well, with a try in the 5th minute, and one in the 42nd minute. Two good starts which allowed them to launch their game perfectly, especially since in the first act, the Welsh were sanctioned with a yellow card in the 2nd minute. A numerical inferiority which will be very well exploited by Jeremy Davidson’s players.
Beware of indiscipline…
At halftime, after three tries scored, the CO already led 17-9. They will therefore cross the goal line twice after returning from the locker room, but be careful of indiscipline because the Castres finish the match at 14 then at 13 against 15, with two yellow cards against Le Brun and Bouzerand in three minutes. An inferiority which will have no impact because it arrives a few minutes from the end of the meeting.
Castres still passes Clermont in the group rankings.
To sum up
Castres Olympique started its Challenge Cup season very well, winning fairly well against Scarlets. The final score of this meeting is 34-16, and the Tarnais emerge from this first meeting with an offensive bonus point.
