Saturday, August 24 evening, CAB stadium in Brive. My first game of rugby in'' real'' and the first game for the new CAB Top14 season. Tonight's game will oppose the CAB Brive (new team) to UBB Bordeaux-Begles.
Both teams enter the field after the mascot of the CAB (a bison) go a few laps of the pitch....

At 10 minutes, Brive scores with a penalty. 3-0! In the 12th minute, bordeaux equates also with a penalty but Brive takes over quickly and, again, thanks to a penalty, double the score: 6-3 then in the 21st minute: 9-3. A little later, a key to Bordeaux:

The Bordeaux enchainent with a yellow card for sending him flying a Brive (who no longer had the ball) in the stands, and Brive still add three points with another penalty (12-3):

Several mixed take place whenever the Brive team pushes Bordeaux like a steamroller but Bordeaux have easy shot does it seem and nurses spend a lot of time in the field to apply a spray-on pain Brive's obviously going to be removed by the opposing team (if not score points, players are brand ...)

The oval ball out from time to time, either Brive or Bordeaux side. The keys are all malgrés recovered more often Brive:

The Brive decide to move and it works pretty well, the Bordeaux wall yields and we are left with a scrum 40m poles UBB. But in this action, a Bordeaux still a misconduct, yellow (for already the second burgundy)! And still messed Brive:

New penalty for Brive. it passes and the score is 15 to 6 Brive and is the half-time break of 10 minutes.
In recovery, we reverse the sides and it should wait 4 minutes to a penalty of Bordeaux allowing Brive to add 3 points to his score (18-6). A foul CAB allows Bordeaux up a little its score: 18-9 but a second penalty of Brive later there will not add points, the ball does not pass between the posts.
It was not until the 57th minute for a penalty of Bordeaux Brive enables up with a ball that goes this time: 18-12 Brive.
60th minute: it moves towards Brive pack pushes the wall and mêne melee melee to crush the Bordeaux under load:

And it will go on like this until the 64th minute, this time a player gets past Brive Bordeaux defense to score the first try of the match! Essay pressed transformed just after allowing Brive to establish its score: 25-12.

After this test transformed the Bordeaux are also trying to score a try, but the Brive defense blocks all attempts but Bordeaux did not go far to mark this test. (Instead, a player UBB loses his shoe flying across the field, it was not until the end of the action during a throw-in that can go get it back :)

76th minute: a Bordeaux is found upside down in a violent plating (plating ''Cathedral'') of Brive player. No yellow card after video viewing, but a penalty. The Bordeaux try the key, they want the bonus point. The ball escapes Bordeaux 2m lines test Brive, the Brive defense works!
Bordeaux mixed with a handful of meters poles Brive, we are in the 79th minute, one minute before the end. The whistle sounded, the Brive come to retrieve the ball and send it off the field, the game is over, Brive won 25-12 against bordeaux!
In the stands, it's party time, the CAB flags fluttering, the fans are all standing and screaming their joy at seeing their winning team. Supporters Brive but Bordeaux rush without violence on the field to congratulate their players, they go won or lost:

80 minutes of rugby, 10'452 supporters, no riot or any problem whatsoever, quite marked in penalties and medical interventions but the final match Brive won his first match of the Top 14! It remains only to do the same for the following matches.


GO THE CAB! (Yes, I also encourage my team!)
