Pro D2 – 9th day: The Columérins ended up dominating

In a committed match marked by clashes, the Columérins ended up winning by a wide margin against an unimaginative opponent who ended up paying dearly.

The Columérins had fallen during their last outing (48-31 at BIarritz), after having achieved a good series of two successes in a row (at Béziers and against Nevers). For the second time this season, the Haut-Garonnais had failed to chain a third success in a row.

For a few weeks, in the absence of Beka Sheklashvili and Hugo Pirlet, Robin Bellemand has been chaining the match sheets and was even established for the first time, last Friday, in Biarritz. First impressions before the reception of Soyaux-Angoulême, this Friday, October 28 on the occasion of the 9th day of Pro D2.

On top of Pro D2:

Oyonnax is firmly on course. Undefeated since September 16, the Ain club pocketed another great success in their lair on Friday evening. At the Stade Charles-Mathon, « Oyo » indeed dominated with the offensive bonus Carcassonne (25-3), thanks to tries scored by Kévin Lebreton, Thomas Laclayat and Darren Sweetnam, and now has 31 points on the clock, i.e. two of more than its dolphin Agen.

Because, at the same time, if SU Agen signed a fifth success in a row during this 9th day, the Lot-et-Garonnais did not take « only » four points against Vannes (17-3). He missed a try at the Agenais to refuel at home and stay in the wheel of the leader.

Behind, we find Colomiers, wide winner of Soyaux-Angoulême (45-16) with the offensive bonus, which drops Grenoble to 4th place, which had won Thursday evening against Nevers (19-18).

Next week, we will find Agen who will open the ball on the lawn of Angoulême. The next day, Mont-de-Marsan will seek to revive in a big shock against Colomiers, and the leader Oyonnax will receive the surprise of the season, Rouen.
