Facing Castanet, a shock at the top for Som Rugby Millau

Les Aveyronnais (3es) se rendent à Castanet (2e), pour un duel aux allures de phases finales avant l’heure. TC

The Millavois (3rd) go to Castanet (2nd), for a duel that looks like the final phases before the hour.

A large piece stands on the road to the Som. The Millavois (3rd) go to Castanet (2nd), today at 3:15 p.m., for a poster which should allow us to know a little more about the hierarchy at the top of the group. The Aveyronnais are only four lengths behind their hosts, themselves four points behind the leader, Palavas-Lunel.

Winners in the first leg (22-6) having defended remarkably and having shown realism in their highlights against an opponent relegated to the upper level, the Aveyronnais move without any particular pressure.

Nevertheless, Baptiste Majorel's men are not going head to head and know they are expected from a vengeful opponent who had perhaps lacked humility in the first leg, by not attempting penalties yet well placed. For the Millavois, this match is a good test with a level of play undoubtedly close to that which they will find in the final stages.

Match between big names

Beaten in Argelès three weeks ago (28-22), the Som guys managed to question themselves and bounce back against Balma, a week later (28-16). The Castanéens, for their part, suffered a short setback at Leucate (6-5) before returning to their favorite pitch, on which they have systematically won this season.

This match between two big names therefore promises a lot, especially since it pits two teams with a well-oiled and spectacular game, and who will face each other with full squads. Note the return of Saia Fekitoa to the team who should bring her experience and punch to the Millavoise phalanx.
