Pro D2

The RCV is doing very, very well on this carried ball. The Vannetais scratch the ball on the ground and regain possession and a scrum five meters away. Good defense from Vannes, who must now leave their camp cleanly.

The Vannes players leave their camp well but make mistakes on the ground game. They concede their first penalty of the game and offer a good penalty to their opponents, five meters from the line.

Camped in the 22 Vannetais for a good five minutes, the locals are unable to break through the defensive curtain. Salles passes to Tamani on the wing, but the latter commits a forward pass.

The action is stopped, Tamani seems to take a big hit to the head. The referee doesn’t whistle anything.

What an opportunity missed by Colomiers! After the scrum, Pinto is served, but he fails to control the ball and commits a knock-on a few meters from the goal. It will therefore be a scrum for the RCV, very strong in this sector.

The Vannetais are overtaken in the race on a columérin foot play. Surano is under pressure and commits a knock-on five meters from his goal. Interesting melee ahead for the locals.

Good sequence of play from Vannes who advance into the opposing camp thanks to Lafage’s canes. The Columérins make a mistake, and the RCV chooses to touch it. First interesting opportunity for the Bretons.

After only a minute and a half of play, Colomiers, after a touchline combination five meters away, flattened behind the line! It’s Tamani who escapes from the defenders. The cold shower for Vannes.

The Columérins kick off.

It’s a small event this week in Vannes. This evening, the Bretons will challenge Colomiers without their captain Francisco Gorrissen, who returned to Argentina to get married. Almost a first: since the Argentinian arrived in Morbihan in the fall of 2021, he has only missed one match in 62 championship days. He even started 54 times, for 46 matches of 80 minutes.

RC Vannes. How can we do without Francisco Gorrissen, who returned to get married in Argentina?

The Vannetais are experiencing a historic evening, without their captain Francisco Gorrissen. They can also beat an old record of invincibility, our special correspondent Juliette Michenaud tells us as the Bretons warm up.

Gradually, we register in Pro D2. We are starting to be more and more credible for the other teams. With our results, the new training center… It must continue like this. The results speak for us. We are really starting to get involved in French rugby.

The full interview can be read here.

In Colomiers this evening, RC Vannes can, if they do not lose, extend the Pro D2 invincibility record to ten games. By narrowly winning in Rouen last Friday (9-14), RCV pushed its unbeaten streak to 9 matches (8 wins and a draw). The Vannes residents thus equaled the record held by Brive during the 2002-2003 season. A twenty-year-old record that could fall this evening. ⤵️

RC Vannes. A twenty-year-old record may fall tonight

After nine days, RCV sits at the top of the championship with 37 points – and nine ahead of Aix-en-Provence, its runner-up. Winner in Rouen last week (14-9), the RCV is undefeated. He has eight wins and one draw. On the Colomiers pitch, the Bretons will want to continue their momentum and establish their domination a little more.

Hello everyone and welcome to this live stream to follow the Pro D2 meeting between Colomiers and Vannes. Kick-off will be at 9 p.m.
