Rugby – Women’s Elite1: defeats after defeats, too heavy for the Lonsoises

After two consecutive defeats, the girls of Lons, they had the will to redeem themselves on the field of Stade Toulousain, but they were not at the desired level

A black Sunday for the Lonsoises who only finally cracked at the end of the match (44 to 3) against the girls of Stade Toulousain, reigning French champions.

In front of the champions of France, it is true deprived of their international rest after the World Cup, the Lionsoises did not have any complex. Under a temperature not to put a duck out, the teammates of Aurélie Couteigt take the direction of the game from the start but it is necessary to wait until the 15th minute for Toulouse to camp in the Lonsois camp.

41 points difference, the offensive bonus in the hands of those who, at the same time, have nothing more to fear from a possible recourse to field points in the event of a tie with their rivals.

We guessed it, on the only accounting level, the bad operation is in the liabilities of Béarnaises who will not have to miss, in three months, during the reception with quits or double of Rennes at the very end of the regular phase.

Having come to the end last week of the reigning French champions of Stade Toulousain (deprived, it is true, of their internationals), the Lonsoises were keen to validate this performance against another big piece of the Elite 1 and the protected of Elodie Poublan were on the verge of doing so in a match where they held on.
