Montpellier confirms its improvement by sweeping the Ospreys

A breath of European air. In difficulty in the Top 14 where the team occupies last place, Montpellier is doing much better on the international scene. A week after its success in Newcastle (24-19), the MHR did it again for the second day of the Challenge Cup, at home this time, against the Ospreys, Sunday December 17. Winners last week in Treviso, the Welsh presented themselves with full confidence at the GGL Stadium. But the Héraultais, authors of three tries in the first period, left no room for suspense.

And if Morgan-Williams thought he would restart the match by reducing the gap after returning from the locker room (19-5), the hope was only short-lived. Indeed, the MHR responded with a fourth try, synonymous with an offensive bonus, eight minutes later, before driving home the point at the end of the match. Final score: 38-5, one more offensive bonus point and the position of leader of group 2 for Bernard Laporte’s new protégés.
