pool 2 european cup 12-12-16

POOL2

SATURDAY  

ZEBRE 6-36 TOLOUSE

BOUNEVAL DOUBLE SECURES FRENCH BONUS POINT WIN


After an early exchange of penalties - Carlo Canna scoring two, either side of one from Sebastien Bezy - put the hosts 6-3 up, the French side took complete control of the contest, running in five tries to secure a bonus point.#
Arthur Bonneval crossed twice, with efforts from Gael Fickou, Joe Tekori and Yoann Huget coming in between and Bezy adding four conversions.


This win was expected in this match between a giant of French Rugby and the minors of the group and it might all go do down to the match between Connacht and Toulouse in January as Wasps seem to show us what they can do. I would love to see Connacht qualify for the quarters to put another side on that li9st at the very least but the French side do have a lot to sort out as years ago teams worried about playing them not so much now.

SUNDAY

WASPS 32-17 CONNACHT

BASSETT GIVES WASPS BONUS POINT


Connacht were in the game up until Joe Launchbury scored the third of Wasps' four tries, Nathan Hughes and Josh Bassett also going over for the hosts.
Kieran Marmion and Rory Parata scored tries for Connacht.
However, Jack Carty missed two penalties as the Irish club were beaten in Europe for the first time this season.
Wasps, who started the day two points behind Pool Two leaders Connacht, are now three points ahead of them after the bonus-point win.


Wasps seem to be on fire at the moment getting a bonus point in this match as Connacht have shown that in periods they can compete and it gives you hope that Connacht can win at home nexst week.
