Author of a clean copy, the band led by Nîmes captain Benjamin Barnerias gradually built their match against the neighbor of Bédarrides. To finish with the offensive bonus in your pocket. To warm up, the two teams initially contented themselves with playing a limited game. In the meadow, with a few scrums, rucks, and other penetrating groups. Lots of busy foot play too. In this game, the Nîmes take control with the foot of their scrum half Bastien Gensana (6/0). Then it was the turn of Nîmes captain Benjamin Barnerias to make a name for himself and go for the test (11/0). Nîmes seems to have mastered its subject.

Even if Bédarrides's attempt at fullback Philip Wokorach casts a chill over Kaumann.

But it is Nîmes who are going at half-time with an advantage of eleven points, with a new try from their hooker Baptiste Phalip. Back from the locker room, Guillaume Aguilar's men continue the undermining work. On a penalty five meters away, played manually by the forwards, the second line David Gonzalez crosses the line for the third Nîmes try.

Captain Vauclusien's try Quentin Alary, however, seems to make the prospect of an improved victory for Nîmes uncertain. Impossible, it's not Nîmes, especially after another try from third row Barnerias. The eight minutes of stoppage after an old-fashioned general brawl and two red cards will not prevent the Nîmes from holding their deserved offensive bonus with the tries of Justin Phillips and Martin Félix at the end of the match.
