Stade Français had not won in Brive since September 2006!
The shooting was rectified this Saturday, after a victory 31 to 28, but the Parisians were scared at the end of the game.
"We played the match needed to win away and here in Brive, we know how difficult it is", rejoiced Antoine Burban at the end of the match at the microphone of Canal +.
A week after its victory in the derby against Racing, Stade Français confirms, in pain.
“It's really becoming a bad habit, our game ends.
[…] There we are intercepted when there is no reason to play.
We really put ourselves in danger when there is no need to be, ”continued the Parisian third line.
Because the Stade Français had started well, the opening half Joris Segonds opening the scoring on his first attempt in the 11th minute, and chaining the penalties.
Thanks to a test scored by Kylan Hamdaoui just before the break, the Parisians returned to the locker room (14-6).
"Hang something on the end of the season"
Grobler knocked out the game by scoring another try in the 52nd, when Hamdaoui did it again in the 64th.
Eye-catching, the Brivists did not give up, scoring a last try one minute from the end of regulation time on a pass interception from Axel Muller.
The CAB, which remained on a series of five games without defeat at home, against Lyon, Montpellier, Toulon, Bordeaux-Bègles and Agen, must be satisfied with the defensive bonus.

This result allows the Stade Français to continue to believe in its chances of reaching the Top 14 dams. With 57 points, as many as Toulon, the Parisians occupy eighth place in the standings this Saturday. “Overall we played the game we needed to finally win here and hope to get something at the end of the season. It's not over, we know it's going to be long and complicated. But we hang on, it makes us vibrate! The club and the supporters deserve it, ”concluded Antoine Burban. The Stade Français will therefore have to confirm in a week at home against Montpellier, in great shape, before receiving Lyon, a direct competitor. Two big pieces.
