Montauban, 6th in the regular phase, created the sensation on Friday by winning in Brive (29-13) to climb to the final of Pro D2 where he will face Grenoblein eight days in Toulouse, for a place in Top 14. Already victorious in Colomiers in the dam (23-20), the teammates of Jérôme Bosviel therefore reoffended, this time at the Stadium, putting an end to the dreams of the Corréziens missing this crucial meeting for their future which they saw on the upper floor.
Better returned to this semi-final, the Montalbanais took advantage of the numerous Brivist clumsiness to take the lead with a big offensive realism in particular on their first test signed Reilhac (13th) with a balloon pushed twice until the in-goal.
Despite a larger power in front, the coujoux did not manage to reassemble their initial handicap, having two balloons worn at the blow before the whistled break in favor of visitors (13-3).
On the recovery, the start of the local “bomb squad” and its seven forwards gave hope because, on the next game phase, the group ended behind the line (10-16, 48th). The conquest in melee also hurt the green and white, faulty and punished by a penalty from Bosch (54th) but Bosviel, almost on the dismissal, recalled that he was an outstanding metronome by slamming a drop of 45 meters.
Dominating, the CAB then collided with a determined defense before being pierced a second time on an action again confused with badly negotiated ball except by Jackson more quick to flatten (69th) and kill almost all suspense. A fortune penalty ratified the final victory of visitors a few minutes later.
