the Rouen Normandy Rugby suffered his heaviest loss of the season (45-8) on the field of Mont-de-Marsan (Landes), Friday, October 15, 2021. The Stade Montois won a fourth home game with an offensive bonus.
Good seven minutes then bigger chosen
However, the match had rather started for Rouen (Seine-Maritime), dominant in melee. Seven good first minutes punctuated by a refused try for Luatua, but also by the opening scoring of Jordan Michallet (0-3). The rest of the first half, however, was complicated for Rouen. Very quickly, Stade Montois, sure of its strength, imposed its rugby. The locals scored a first try by Wavrin at 10 ‘on a good game at the foot of Du Plessis.
As against Grenoble, Rouen has accumulated inaccuracies: lost touches, hand errors … the RNR suffered a lot and cashed two other tries, including a penalty of 14 against 15, following the yellow card of the Tarus pillar for the multiplication of just faults. before the break. At half-time, the match was already poorly started for Rouen, led 19-3.
Gontinéac for honor
The second half restarted for three minutes, when Léo Coly, already author of a try in the first period (as well as another refused after losing the referee), scored the fourth try of Mont-de-Marsan (26-3).
As in the first act, Rouen was put back. The Lions put their courage in defense against the local breaking waves. But by dint of being marked, Rouen multiplied the faults and Matthieu Bonnot took a yellow card (57 ′). In the scrum that followed, Rouen cashed a new penalty try, the second of the evening, the fifth for Stade Montois (33-3).
Exceeded throughout the match, Nicolas Godignon’s players continued to be penalized. Faced with an opponent in great difficulty, the Montois carried out and chained the tests. They have seven in 69 minutes of play.
At the very end of the match, Gontineac scored a try after a 60-meter counter, led with Lydon. But this action came far too late for the Lions.
Rouen will have to show another face on Friday 22 October against Oyonnax in Diochon. In the standings, after 7 days, the Lions are 11th with 13 points.
