The infernal spiral in which Montpellier is plunged does not stop. This Saturday, Bernard Laporte’s Héraultais recorded an 8th defeat in a row in the Top 14 against Bayonne in a bottom-of-the-ranking duel. The eight changes made by Patrice Collazo compared to the last setback against Oyonnax (26-21) changed nothing, the MHR suffered without ever competing before the Bayonne forwards.
Despite an honorable start to the match, Montpellier’s defense paid for its lack of discipline. An offside gave Camille Lopez her first points of the afternoon (3-0, 12th).
The suspense did not last
Five minutes later, Rowing hooker Vincent Giudicelli took advantage of a ball carried from the forwards after a touch found by Lopez within five meters. The opener transformed (10-0, 17th). Submerged, the MHR took advantage of its first foray into the opposing 22 to hit the mark. Jean Serfontein intercepted a missed touch from Giudicelli to advance. Bécognée then rushed to score in the closed, but Carbonel – for his return – missed his transformation (10-5, 22nd). A yellow from Bastien Chalureau (32nd) temporarily placed Montpellier numerically inferior while yet another offside benefited Camille Lopez, author of a second penalty under the poles (13-5, 34th).
Returning from the locker room, Guillaume Martocq’s try pushed the team of rugby director Bernard Laporte a little further. The opportunity for Camille Lopez to continue her flawless performance (20-5, 44th). The Bayonnais then found themselves with their eyes closed, Mori’s chistera benefited Remi Bourdeau who flattened into a corner before a new transformation (27-5, 52nd).
Reinach’s try transformed by Carbonel (27-12, 60th) was anecdotal, Facundo Bosch continuing to consolidate the superiority of the Bayonne forwards by scoring another try. At the foot, Camille Lopez was always impeccable (34-12, 74th). Montpellier still finished on a good note with a try from Darmon on the last action, insufficient to extricate itself from a chaotic situation (34-19, 80th + 2).
The MHR remains last, Bayonne is 10th.
