La combativité a été au rendez-vous pour les Sétois. MIDI LIBRE – Jérôme Belluire

La victoire (29-14), ce dimanche face à L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a remis les Sétois sur le bon chemin.

For a team that had not scored a single try after two days of Fédérale 3, the bar was perfectly straightened.

This Sunday, against L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (29-14), RC Sète crossed the goal line in the fourth minute, clearly announcing its intentions. Then added three tries to its tally. Like that, there is no doubt.

Le temps au temps

With a dominant pack of forwards, a well-established kicking game and a constant fighting spirit, like Wolff's hat-trick or Alfaroli's great performance, the Sète team convinced, even if everything is not yet ready. «  We have to give time time », declared Éric Piazza after the match. «  We had a complicated start. It's never easy to host a derby for the first day, then there was Covid. The group has new arrivals, a new way of playing and needed confidence. With this victory, we are not world champions, but we will be able to work calmly. »

Exactly, if the victory puts RC Sète back in the center of the Bayrou stadium, the adjustments must continue. «  We wanted to attack flat out to take control of the match. It was successful. Afterwards, we made far too many mistakes. We will work on that. In any case, the players responded, we congratulate them for taking up the challenge. It was not easy, but they did it. »
