Rugby union: RC Sète was not far from the mark

Mouss Amakrane has made his return. FREE NOON – Jérôme Belluire

The Sétois lost 21-17 at Mourillon this Sunday March 10, after leading at the hour mark.

The great home victory against SMUC (14-13) therefore did not open a series. This Sunday, on the lawn of US Mourillon, the Sète rugby players finally laid down their arms.

But we could believe it. It took a local try scored four minutes from the end of regulation time… Previously, RC Sète had benefited in particular from the return of Mouss Amakrane to take the lead in the second half. Trailing 16-11 at the break, the Sétois benefited from two kicks from their scorer to regain control at the hour mark (16-17). Alas, that was not enough.

We will still have to show determination to seek maintenance. But RC Sète, and he was not far from proving it this Sunday, has everything in store to avoid cold sweats.
