Mugron confirms and asserts himself in Laruns

Mugron did not want to “do any calculations” before returning to Laruns this Sunday. It is clear that USM negotiated its 32nd final perfectly: the six-point victory in the first leg (33-27) was followed by a four-point victory in the return, this Sunday (21-25).

Mugron did not want to “do any calculations” before returning to Laruns this Sunday. It is clear that USM negotiated its 32nd final perfectly: the six-point victory in the first leg (33-27) was followed by a four-point victory in the return, this Sunday (21-25). History to confirm its control of this double confrontation against the regular season leader in Pool 11, validating its qualification in 16th place. Landais will face Auvergnats in RC Saint-Cernin, May 19 (in Cantal) and May 26 (return to Hillette), for a place in Federal 2.

To play the 16th, Laruns had to win by 7 points. But with an average touch, an obvious lack of density compared to USM and an indiscipline greater than today’s opponent, there was too much hope to bite the opposition, even if the appetite was there. “Mugron is a very good team, it’s a shame because there was still room. We are certainly eliminated, but we had the right strategy, assures Béarn coach Christian Tisnérat, who also announced his departure from the club.

Jamme’s feat

However, his team started this meeting well by setting the pace. Miro opened the scoring from the first, but Mugron quickly got into the swing thanks to a personal exploit from his winger Jamme, who broke through the Ossaloise defense from 40 meters (3-7, 9.). Mugron would then pounce on Larun’s mistake and Senaux, the Mugron scorer (author of a 7/8 against the posts), passed three penalties before the break.

Laruns responded and scored a try from his scrum-half and conductor Miro, who left his team still believing it at half-time. And everyone believed it even more when B. Arros finished a very nice move at the foot of the posts (18-16, 45.). Annoyed, the Landes tractor began shifting gears and pushing Ossalois to fault three times, always for ground faults. Laruns had chances at the very end of the match, but Mugron held on to success and a deserved qualification.
