Who said that Castres Olympique was a rough team incapable of playing an attractive game? Saturday afternoon, during a Rugby Challenge Cup match against the Welsh team Scarlets, the Tarnais once again showed their offensive qualities with a sublime try, at the end of an action with four passes after contact , in the middle of an overwhelmed Welsh defense.
It all starts with a first chistera pass, behind the back, from Vilimoni Botitu, for Abraham Papali’i, 30 m from the goal. The third row tumbles near the touchline. Tackled, number 8 then delivers a blind pass, chistera left hand, to the same Vilimoni Botitu. Which immediately gives… a pass over his head to Leone Nakarawa, launched. A relay – and a new offload – later with Gauthier Doubrère, and the young opener Louis Le Brun spins, head down, flattening into a corner.
This sublime try brought the Pierre-Fabre stadium to its feet and consolidated the Castres victory against Llanelli (34-16 final score). For its entry into the Challenge Cup, the second European Rugby Cup (after the Campions Cup), the CO won the offensive bonus with five tries scored. Despite a significant turnover, the third in the Top 14 (six wins in nine games) does not weaken on the European scene.
