This is a historic victory! RC Vannes know how to keep their backs, score when necessary and stay absolutely flawless. The Breton club won 30-20 in pain against a great Lyon team at the Stade de la Rabine this Saturday afternoon for the third day of the Top 14.
Last week, the Vannes regained their first place in the championship after a good fight against Stade Français (34-31). We have to at least repeat this afternoon, if not better. It was the second option that was chosen when, in the 7th minute, the opening of Maxime Lafage took the points (3-0, 7th).
Valor pays off
But LOU, winner of Montpellier and UBB in the first two days, remains as favorite. Quickly, Lyonnais took the score with a good effort from the international pillar Sébastien Taofifenua (3-7, 1st). Two penalties on both sides, after all, is a miracle and an advantage in Rabine. In his inner goal, Niniashvili was struggling, put under pressure by the Vannetais. The Georgian celebration recorded… to his position, which benefited Surano (13-10, 35th).
Then Rayasi hit the nail on the head when the second half restarted. The winger’s effort made the score 20-10. Lyon kept pushing until they dropped back to three points lower. While it seems that Lyon still got the upper hand, Vannes didn’t give up. On the launch of a game and a new success from Rayasi, Arate shot without two defenders on his back (30-20, 77th).
Tears were already streaming down the eyes of the Vannes staff when the forward pack brought down the Lyon scrum in the last period. There are 15 seconds on the clock, the damage is done for LOU, the Vannes crowd can enjoy it.
Now, they have five points in the standings and are really launching their season. See it next Saturday at 4:30pm on the Toulon pitch. For new exploits?
