Amateur rugby: “We're going there in commando mode”, in Montélimar in the 32nd final return of Fédérale 3, Jacou will want to maintain his meager advantage

After the first leg, Jacou is ready to play hard. – C.Milles.

In the rain, the Héraultais scored a success against Montélimar, in the first leg (19-13) and will therefore leave with a slight advantage in the Drôme, this Sunday (3 p.m.) for the 32nd final return of Federal 3.

Like a dream. Five years after playing its last finals match, in the round of 32 return at the Paul-Fines stadium in Saverdun, RC Jacou rediscovered the joys of the game during the spring.
Fourth in Pool 7, the Jacoumards had to go through a roadblock to open the doors to the “grandes” final phases.

Facing the Isérois of Renage-Rives, in front of nearly 800 people, the Montpellier commuters provided the essentials, without being brilliant, by winning 30-20.

In the draw, the RCJMN inherited Montélimar, first in group 6. A big piece which moved last Sunday to Hérault, with gloomy weather.< /p>

A climate that hardly suits the troupe of the Peillon-Theillet duo, more adept at playing with movement and space.

However, they were never worried. "We called the day before with David (Theillet), and it’s weird but we weren't stressed", confesses Guillaume Peillon, three-quarters coach.

"The players are not going there under any circumstances to hold a jubilee"

The victory, under the same flood, at the beginning of March against the second in the group, Cavaillon (16-9), convinced the staff. « After this success, we knew that we were capable of fighting against the big teams, even in the rain », adds the technician.

Last Sunday, there were not many of them in the bays of Parc Bocaud to brave the April showers, but the spectators were able to witness an intense fight.

"We are a team with a lot of energy and heart. Our defense and our discipline allowed us to win (19-13), congratulates Peillon. We know that against big teams, the slightest mistake costs dearly, we were lucky not to make many on the way."

Sunday, at the Tropénas stadium, the weather should be milder and therefore more favorable for captain Martial Kralfa's teammates. "We're going there in commando mode!, warns the Hérault coach. We are not telling ourselves that the season is successful because we qualified and won in the round of 32 first leg…hellip; "

Ambitious and with a six-point advantage to maintain, "the players are in no way going there to celebrate a jubilee, concludes Guillaume Peillon. Many players will only be satisfied with the climb…"
The Montiliens have been warned, Jacou will go up to the Drôme without complexes.
