Rugby XV: Colomiers imposes its law and eliminates Millau in the round of 16

Colomiers était trop fort pour Millau. Midi libre – Maxime Cohen

Colomiers a dominé Millau en 8e de finale du championnat de France de Fédérale 1 féminine (61-7).

The step was too high for the Millavoises to hope for a result in the round of 16 of the French Federal 1 championship. The SOM girls suffered the attacks of their opponents, clean in all sectors. In the game, the Columérines, not clumsy, had no difficulty in stringing together playing times to infiltrate the Sud-Aveyronnaises camp. Not aggressive enough, the locals quickly took on water (16-0, 17th).

When the SOM girls tried to contest in the rucks, they were undisciplined and conceded penalties. Especially since opposite, the Haut-Garonnaises did not ask for so much. They produced play, were efficient in touch and did not give the slightest opportunity to exist to their opponents of the day. The score was heavy at the break, but logical given the solid performance delivered on the field (28-0).

The same song in the second period

Colomiers then had more than one foot in the quarter-finals and did everything to destroy the slightest hope of a comeback for the Sud-Aveyronnaises. Very quickly, they returned to the Millavoises camp, at the same pace as in the first period (40-0, 45th). The rotations operated by Marion Costes and Philippe Andreani did nothing. The Millavoises had the opportunity to plant a try but the foot of Fanny Cottier, aligned at the back, bit the touchline (48th). The last stand arrived one minute from time, thanks to a try from Vaylet, transformed by Fanny Cottier. The step was too high for the Millavoises who therefore lost (61-7) for this first final phase match.

Millau's starting XV: Vayssettes, Azimont, Andreani, Augé, Zorzan, Saunier, Déjean, Vernhes, Bousquet, Albinet, Denis, C. Vaylet, A. Vaylet, Assiam, Cottier. Substitutes: Tuprin, Héran, Arguel, Saboureau, Lauray, Samson, Cristol.
