Rugby union: a gap on the scoreboard, but not necessarily on the field for RC Sète

Les rugbymen sétois ont notamment marqué deux essais face à un adversaire ambitieux. MIDI LIBRE – Jérôme Belluire

Battu 34-14 à Cavaillon ce dimanche 18 février, le RC Sète a mené la vie dure à son hôte et a pris le bonus défensif.

They were not far from the mark in December in Draguignan, the observation was the same this Sunday in Cavaillon. On the pitch of the two leading teams in pool 7, the Sétois will have shown good dispositions. Not enough to win, but enough to convince yourself that the forward movement has indeed been restored in recent weeks.

« The score does not reflect the match », commented John Ragno. « We take tests on some errors that we could avoid. For sixty minutes, we were in the match. We were at the level of this poster at the top of the table. When we have a team opposite which plays first place and which is not even capable of showing satisfaction at the end of the match, it proves that we have punished them. They don't take the offensive bonus, we take the defensive bonus. »

Convictions

If the final phases are no longer relevant, maintaining this should not pose a problem at this pace. RC Sète has regained serenity and this bodes well for the future, even if the last four days promise great fights with the reception of SMUC, the outings at Mourillon and Jacou, and a last match at home opposite Solliès-Pont.

« Without the small errors, the score would have been more in our favor. We leave Cavaillon with convictions, we are totally committed to the mission we have entrusted to ourselves since the beginning of January », continues John Ragno. « I would also like to salute the performance of our third row Luca De Mori, a player trained at the club who had his baptism of fire. It broke down and we hope it continues! »

See you this Sunday, February 25 at the Bayrou stadium, with the reception of SMUC, currently third in the group.
