Led by an excellent Camille Lopez, Aviron Bayonnais dominated Stade Français (16-3).
Stade Français, undefeated leader received three out of three before the World Cup break, suffered a first logical setback on the field of Bayonne (16-3), Sunday for the resumption of the Top 14 after an eight-week break.
The Pink Soldiers, under the eyes of Laurent Labit and Karim Ghezzal, present at Jean-Dauger as observers before officially taking office next Wednesday, only created an illusion during the first half hour before undergoing the Basque awakening .
Rowing, carried by a Camille Lopez master of the occupation, was able to find the opening on penaltouche, not by the pillar Swan Cormenier (35th) who saw his try refused on video but by the hooker Facundo Bosch two minutes later as the debates began to get tense (7-3).
Lopez, precise against the poles (4 out of 4), punished the Parisian indiscipline whose revolt we have long awaited. In vain.
Uninspired with the ball in hand, unimaginative and bankrupt in touch (7 lost balls), Paul Gabrillagues’ teammates were never able to find the opening, their three points having been scored from the start on a penalty by Joris Segonds (2nd ), future Bayonnais, forced to come out the next minute due to an impressive knockout.
The Stadistes suffered in the control of the game against the Bayonnais who controlled the game but narrowly missed in the zone of truth to increase the score.
«The quality of Sunday’s match doesn’t matter to me as long as the final result is positive», had launched Cormenier before the meeting. He must be fulfilled by this success, the second for Grégory Patat’s men after that against Toulouse (26-7) at the opening of the Top 14, which balances the score of the Basques who are always as solid when they play on the banks of the Nive.
