Racing at a standstill, Clermont thanks its forwards, Lyon outclasses Brive … What to remember from the twelfth day

0

In a tight championship, the Top 14 teams try to grab every point to climb the standings. Saturday December 4, Castres, Clermont, Lyon and Montpellier won the offensive bonus. The French internationals have shown themselves to their advantage, like Vincent Rattez and Melvyn Jaminet.

Racing stalls again

The Racingmen have a third defeat in a row, in Castres (25-3). In difficulty, dominated by the Castres, the Ciel et Blanc had great difficulty in settling in the opposing camp in the first period. They still revolted just before the break, but the test they thought they had scored was canceled for a forward.

Bis repeated after returning from the locker room, with a new attempt invalidated since a hand from Castres prevented Ibrahim Diallo from flattening. The Ile-de-France residents have not converted any of their chances and have let their chances pass. Opposite, the Castres, very united in defense, were patient to finally snatch the offensive bonus in the 81st minute.

Yohan Beheregaray power 3

Ultra-domineering, the Clermontois win against a courageous team from Biarritz (39-11). A success built on his first lines, which scored four of the five tests in Auvergne. Peni Ravi allowed ASM to start the game ideally, in the 6th minute, before hooker Yohan Beheregaray took advantage of his power to flatten on the line three times.

Clermont hit the nail on the head with a fifth try, scored by Damian Penaud on a superb pass at the foot of Camille Lopez. Biarritz remains the red lantern of the Top 14.

Brive sinks in Lyon

Defeated in its last eleven away matches in the Top 14, Brive continues its black series in Lyon (41-0). The Brivists did not see the light at the Gerland stadium and conceded five tries. After holding twenty minutes, they then suffered the power of Lyon. The Corréziens pushed to register a few points at the very end of the game, after the expulsion of Josua Tuisova, without success.

The beautiful story of Montpellier Aubin Eymeri

Entering in the 67th minute for his first appearance with the professionals, Aubin Eymeri offered the offensive bonus to MHR ten minutes later, against Perpignan. The young Montpellier took advantage of a missed release from the Catalans to flatten in the in-goal and complete the success of his family (30-6). The Cistes were also able to count on an impeccable Paolo Garbisi at the foot, and tests of Vincent Rattez and Pierre Lucas, who crucified his former team.

On the Perpignan side, Melvyn Jaminet scored his team’s six points on two superb penalties, the first more than 50 meters from the posts, and the second more than 55 meters from his camp. His magic right paw was not, however, enough for the USAP, penultimate in the standings, while the MHR consolidates its third place.
