But very quickly, the locals showed that they were dangerous and were awarded a penalty kick after an error in refereeing from Gent (7-6, 13). On a won touch at 22 metres, the ball reaches Desimone's hand for a try (14-6, 21).
The Orthéziens are delighted, after good work from Encina, he passes the ball to Urbistondo with the third attempt in the corner (21-6, 26). While we believe the feds will do this on their own, they are comfortable giving up two attempts. The first went to Miles Dupuy after a penalty kick for handball and the second went to Larode (21-20, 37).
Orthiz air gap
Upon his return to the field, it was Orthez who immediately scored another try for Desa (28-20, 42 and 31-20, 49) after a penalty kick from Bourassin. Gunn did not let that fool him, and in four minutes, Orthez beat Ghent with three tries scored by Bordenave, Raymond and a penalty (31-41, 56).
Then Bourassin reduced the gap (34-41, 60) and his partners put pressure on Ghan’s poles without realizing anything. The endgame is uncertain. Finally, after several unsuccessful penalty kicks played manually, Leffler scored an attempt that was converted by Bourassin, snatching the tie (41-41, 80+2).
