Very realistic, the Montois are again leaders – Pro D2 2018-2019 – Rugby



[ad_1]

In very wet conditions, the Stade Montois has been realistic in overcoming catchy Corrèziens. After a scoring duel in the first period (12-3), things were a little packed (but not too much) in the second act with a test on both sides. Yann Brethous first consolidated the lead Montois in the 49th minute (19-6) then Sevanaia Galala allowed Brive to return at the very end of the match (79th). The Landes players badured the essential (19-14) thanks to solid fundamentals.

More than nine years after their last duel in the Top 14, Brive and Mont-de-Marsan have had the right to a reunion placed under the sign of the fight. Melee and rucks fans have been pampered this Thursday night, which is often the case during these November games in Pro D2. But if the Brivists remained on a victory in the Landes, they took more than an hour to rectify their indiscipline (yellow card for Cerqueira in the 49th) and the bench of substitutes there was for many. The Corrèze manager Jérémy Davidson wanted his team to respond aggressively and it is done even if we also found the lack of balloon accuracy in hand that is lacking at CAB this season outside. It must also be said that the Mons strategy proved very effective once again in Guy-Boniface.

Sometimes you have to know how to close the game

Christophe Laussucq and David Auradou agreed this week in their statements. The expectation of a rebellion for the first, cleanliness on the fundamentals demanded by the second and ultimately, a realistic performance of their players. Lacking confidence after a mixed third and wide setback at Aurillac (31-7), the Montois did not put themselves in danger and retreated to what makes their home strength: defense and occupation . Thanks to the newfound fighting virtues, the footwork at the foot of Loustalot and Seguy and the success in Laousse Azpiazu's shot at goal (9 points), the Landes players quickly took the score to never let go. Only downside, the end of the game tense and unruly with the yellow card for Bécognée but especially this test conceded on the siren that left a point to a direct opponent to the qualification.

The essential is still there for Stade Montois who found the victory (19-14) and remains undefeated at home. The Landes are even temporarily first in the championship, a place they have already occupied for a long time in this beginning of the season. On Brive's side, this first of the three moves of this fourth block ends well with this defensive bonus torn off at the last second. It will still find solutions far from the Corrèze and next week on the lawn of Provence Rugby not to be too demoted in this ranking so tight Pro D2.
