“We’re going to Lannemezan to do something!”

Kelly et Nîmes déterminés à gagner un 3e match à l’extérieur. d. a.

Nationale 2/15e journée.

"Le championnat est très serré. Chaque rencontre compte pour la qualification. Cela se jouera à quelques points, à des bonus par-ci par-là", analyzes Nîmes flanker Paul Kelly, author of another good performance last Saturday in front of Bédarrides (44-10).

A great performance, like the whole team who left only crumbs for their neighbor by controlling the match from start to finish, with no less than six tries scored . A result which put Nîmes back in the top three.

30 trials registered

Better, the RCN is now one of the most prolific teams in terms of the number of tries scored. With thirty registered, it is on par with the leader, the Stade Métropolitain, being just ahead of Aubenas (38) and Rumilly (33). Statistics which seem to confirm that, little by little, the Barnerias gang is finding its offensive game, with dominating forwards and spinning three-quarters.

"Our forwards did the job, in combat and in conquest. Which allowed our three-quarters to have good balls , recognizes manager Guillaume Aguilar, who would sign to see his team repeat such a performance in the Hautes-Pyrénées. We will have to be present in front because Lannemezan is a very solid team in this sector, with a very conquering scrum and destructive mauls."

Same story with third row Paul Kelly who, with a smile on his lips, admits to expecting a good confrontation. "This is definitely going to be rough. The atmosphere risks being heavy, with a hot audience. But, we're going there to make a move!"

"We're always moves with the desire to make the best match possible, confirms Guillaume Aguilar. With victory as the ultimate goal. It's now up to us to put in the right ingredients."

Essential to achieve a third away victory after Bédarrides and La Seyne. Essential to envisage a spring with final phase flavors. "We have to get points outside our bases to be able to look forward to the end of the season in a positive way", concludes the RCN manager .

Nîmes (3rd, 44 points) plays Lannemezan (8th, 34 points), this Sunday at 3:15 p.m..
