Zapping World Fifteen “I’ve come a long way,” Mathieu Bastareaud enjoys after his comeback
Montauban managed to win narrowly at home, against SU Agen (26-25). It was not won because in the first ten minutes the Tarn-et-Garonne players collected thirteen points! SUA even took the lead on the counterattack (17-19).
It will take Jérôme Bosviel’s foot to allow USM to get back on track, and in particular in the 73rd minute, with the penalty that won for the first half.
There was necessarily relief and satisfaction for Montalban’s players, such as Bastien Guillemin, who didn’t fail to salute the performance at his teammate’s feet, as stated in La Dépêche.
We will remember this game. We remobilized well and that’s the main thing. We are physically fine. However, we will have to adjust our starts to aim for the top of the standings. Jérôme Bosviel has a golden foot game and sends test balls to our feet. He is as effective on shots on goal as his shot to win the corner from 45 yards. It is a collective victory. We are going to Béziers next week. It will sting, we know that. We will ride there like dogs so that the match is close.
Florent Wieczorek, Montauban’s coach, welcomed the character shown by his troops.
We managed to come back at the end of the first half and that’s very positive. We haven’t seen great rugby, but we have shown a team that has character and courage. If we add control, we will be much more dangerous than today. The members have brought us a lot (…) These points will count in a very tight championship as demonstrated by the results of the evening.
