The long-awaited meeting between the Archiball and the Barracudas turned logically to the advantage of the XV visitor, winner on the score without appeal from 27 to 8.
Defeated heavily during their trip to Saint-Barth, the players of the Alexandre Pellicier - Florent Negrault duo approach the meeting with the firm intention of taking their revenge on an opponent difficult to maneuver. Despite a good start to the match, the "Archi" have rarely failed a well-grouped visiting defense, except just before the break where Florent Negrault dives into the promised land.
With only three points behind the scoreboard (13-8), the Archiball attack the second period with determination but make too many mistakes. The penalties are linked in favor of the Barracudas who widen the gap. Despite a desire to do well, the Archiball will never be able to worry an opponent with a well-oiled collective.
At the end of the eighty minutes, the score does not suffer from any dispute. The men of the duo Fabien Maurel - Paul Bessières win 27 to 8 and consolidate their leadership position. _AF
