Frédéric Garcia’s players may harbor regrets in view of their superb last twenty minutes against Stade Rochelais, which is confirmed by their coach: “I have a really mixed feeling with both the disappointment of the defeat, but also the feeling for having competed and having shown a good face by just dying at 5 points at the end of the match. We took 14 points too easily, which allowed them to take the break too early.”

With the wind at their backs, La Rochelle initially dominated the proceedings in the first half, but without really winning the UBB. Sébastien Morel was not reassured at half-time: “It’s a complicated match. We knew we were expected, but we only reached plus 8 with the wind at our backs. Fortunately, we got off to a good start in the second half, because after that UBB got back into the match. » A match which was played with these four scrums pressed by the La Rochelle pack leading to a penalty try (13-28, 47e). Then on these two tests given too easily. First that of Tetlow after a breakthrough from Brunet (13-33, 50e). Then that of Lamit after an interception (13-40, 56e).

The rest of the match was dominated by the UBB which finally played in the right areas: Miranda sounded the revolt and rewarded the efforts of his team by scoring a good try after several periods of play (18-40, 64e). Miranda, again, quickly plays a touch and brings his team back into the opposing 22, Gardrat scores at the end of the line (25-40, 69e). Exshaw, euphoric, finds a superb 50-22 and on the penalty that follows, the opener shifts Deram for the try of hope (30-40, 72e). The defensive bonus is in sight. The UBB continues to attack, Permal pilfers a hot ball and Escouteloup scores a fifth try, synonymous with a bonus (35-40, 79e). UBB even has one last possession in its 22 meters. La Rochelle trembles, but is very happy to clear into touch.
