Pour le retour de Karim Ghezal sur le banc lyonnais, le LOU a su faire le dos rond après un premier quart d’heure difficile. L’équipe 13e du Top 14 a en effet encaissé deux essais signés Josh Adams (3e) et Danny Southworth (15e) transformés par Tinus de Beer, heureusement entrecoupés par une réalisation d’Ethan Dumortier (6e), bien servi par David Niniashvili.

Grâce à deux autres essais inscrits par Alfred Parisien (24e) puis Dumortier, encore (37e), le LOU était repassé devant au moment de rejoindre les vestiaires (17-14).

Pas découragés par le 4e essai lyonnais marqué par Yanis Charcosset (47e), les Gallois reprenaient le lead avec deux nouveaux essais (24-26, 61e).

La réaction rhodanienne ne tardait pas avec un nouvel essai dans la foulée d’Esteban Gonzalez (31-26, 63e).

Cardiff perdait sa capacité de réaction en fin de match et concédait pénalité sur pénalité (12 au total, seulement 4 contre le LOU) et Martin Méliande puis Gonzalez ne se rataient pas face aux perches pour offrir une victoire bonifiée qui va faire du bien au moral des Lyonnais.

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

Now you are just being a woke, jealous fool. With the way things are run in NZ, no wonder he couldn't make a success there. Now that he is out shining any other New Zealanders, including their star players, now he is bitter and resentful and all sorts of hate speeches against him. That is what the fans like you do. Those in NZ who does have enough sense not to let pride cloud their vision, is all saying the same thing. NZ needs TB. Razor was made out to be a rugby coaching God by the fans, so much so that Foz was treated like the worst piece of shitte. Especially after the Twickenham disaster right before the WC. Ad then he nearly won the WC too with 14 players. As a Saffa the way he handled the media and the pressure leading up to the WC, was just extraordinary and I have gained a lot of respect for that man. Now your so called rugby coaching God managed to lose by an even bigger margin, IN NZ. All Razor does is overplay his players and he will never get the best out of those players, and let's face it, the current crop is good enough to be the best. However, they need an coach they can believe in completely. I don't think the players have bought into his coaching gig. TB was lucky to shake the dust of his boots when he left NZ, because only when he did that, did his career go from strength to strength. He got a WC medal to his name. Might get another if the Boks can keep up the good work. New exciting young talent is set to join soon after the WC as dangerous as SFM and Kolbe. Trust me, he doesn't want the AB's job. He is very happy in SA with the Boks. We score, you lose a great coach. We know quality when we see it, we don't chuck it in the bin like NZRU likes to do. Your coaching God is hanging on by a thread to keep his job🤣🤣🤣🤣
