After a good first half, the players of the Section Paloise finally lost against La Rochelle (20-29) at the end of this 12th day of Top 14. “It was a balanced, intense, tough showdown. But we lost him. If I have to mention the essential reasons, I will say domination in the rucks. In the ground game, La Rochelle was more disciplined, more clinical. And if I have to give a second reason, I tell you that we have to assume that we had ammunition to score, that we got closer to the line, but that we were incapable of transforming our times strong.” declared Sébastien Piqueronies at the end of this meeting.
“I don't think we're marking time, it's the assessment of the moment. After Oyonnax, that’s 0 points in two matches. But what interests me is the content and I notice that the match was paradoxically balanced but that at the key moments, we were not invited. finally concluded the Pau manager. Currently 4th in the rankings, the Pau players will travel to Montpellier on January 27 for the next day of Top 14.
