Luxembourg 50 - Ottignies 0

Weather: 6°. Sunny
Pitch: Average
Kickoff: 13:30
Spectators: 57
Ref: M. Oberst (*****)

Luxembourg:

Last Saturday, Luxembourg Cadets played at home Ottignies for Day 6 of Belgium Division 1. In the first 20 minutes, Luxembourg played the best rugby we have seen them playing this season and was rewarded with 5 tries and a bonus point in the pocket.
Ottignies never had the space or the time to play and these first minutes can be described at the rhythm of the Luxembourg tries:   After only 2 minutes in the game, Luxembourg won an opposition line out, the ball was quickly recycled to the backs and Robert Irons found a gap and scored in the corner. 4 minutes later, from a turn over at the breakdown, Eloy Genest got the ball on the wing, kicked to himself and had the speed to beat the defenders and score. Another 5 minutes and the ball ran all the back line to ending in a 2 vs 1 situation and Robert had only to score. Only 2 minutes passed and the same move had the same result with Robert scoring his hat trick of the afternoon. Finally on the 20th minute, another fine work in the forwards, guaranteeing a ball that seemed lost, and excellent passes in the backs sent Julian Vercruysse into space to another try. Martin Pacaud converted 3 of the tries.
After this thunderous start, Luxembourg slowed down a bit and started to concede a few penalties. Ottignies finally had some space and time to play and took the game to Luxembourg 22m. It was time to defend and the team did it superbly. Although, obliged to give away some penalties, the team stood firmly near the try line and Ottignies was not able to score. Half time arrived with the score at 31-0.
Second half was less exciting with all the action happening far from the try lines and too many interruptions due to technical mistakes or penalties. Nevertheless, Luxembourg still managed to score 3 more tries. On the 41st minute, Martin took advantage of an enormous gap in Ottignies defence and scored. 4 minutes later, Gauthier Lachaise managed a nice run and scored under the posts.
Both  tries were converted by Martin. Finally, near the end,  Christian Olsen picked up the ball from the back of a 5-m scrum and scored unchallenged, for a final round score of 50-0.
Another good display from the Luxembourg Cadets which places them in a comfortable third position in the table. 

Man of the Match: Robert Irons  

La Hulpe2/B.West 13 - RCL/CSCE 7


The fifth match of the season saw the SGG-RCL/CSCE U17s travel to the grounds of Rugby Club B.E. West in Belgium.
It was clear from the outset that things were not all going RCL’s way. With a number of players pulling out on the eve of the match for various reasons, the departure from the Glacis was then delayed whilst waiting in hope for a player to arrive, the bus then missed its exit, and it meant that the team arrived one player short with not much time left for preparation.
The number of new players arriving to rugby is ever increasing, and on the day, 4 new boys were making their debuts. With a couple of players playing out of position however, for once the Luxembourg team struggled to gel.
RCL/CSCE started well enough, playing down hill and with the sun in their backs, and soon got points on the board, with Sean Ferreira scoring the try and Hamish Cullen converting. However, from then on, penalties seemed to be going against the Luxembourg team, allowing the opposition back into the game, scoring with 2 penalty kicks, followed by a try, making it 13-7 to the hosts. A late rally from RCL/CSCE looked to have tipped the balance back into the favour of the Luxembourg team, but what looked a certain try in the last minute by Pablo Vineis was disallowed by the referee.
A missed opportunity for the RCL/CSCE team to close the gap with Nivelles, who are still ahead on top of the league, leading by 4 points. With RCL still having to play Nivelles home and away, the objective of promotion is therefore still on track with four wins and four bonus points from five games.

Team: Adrien Costa, Valter Queroz, Charel Radoux, Johannes Vasques, Hamish Cullen (c), Sean Ferreira, Sacha Ernstberger, Andreas Hacker, Tristan Limpach, Sean Clark, Pablo Vineis, Jack Dempsey, Antoine Schuler, Allan Chevrier

BUC 10 - Luxembourg 34

BUC 10 - Luxembourg 34
Weather: 12°. Sunny
Pitch: Synthetic (Good)
Kickoff: 13:30
Spectators: 52
Ref: M. Spillane (*****)

Luxembourg: 

Last Saturday Luxembourg went to Brussels to play BUC for Day 5 of Belgium Cadets Division 1 having in mind a victory plus a bonus point would comfort their excellent 3rd place in the championship.
Despite playing for the first time in a synthetic pitch, they didn’t spend too much time analysing the pitch or the opposition. From the kick off, Luxembourg won the ball deep in BUC territory and, after a few rucks, the ball run all the back line to finish in the hands of Christian Olsen alone on the wing. 10 minutes later, Luxembourg scored again. This time, from a good line out, the ball went quickly to the back line and Martin Pacaud took advantage of a big gap in BUC’s defence and scored in the middle of the posts.
After this storming start where the BUC team was just defending and only small mistakes in the last transmission prevented a few more tries, Luxembourg lowered the intensity allowing BUC time to think and play their best weapon: a stronger and heavier forward pack. Both forward packs were monopolising the ball now but without any real threat.
However, just before half time, another good run from Martin followed superbly by Olivier Lambert ended with Martin scoring again. Martin converted two of the tries and half time arrived with the score at 0- 19.   
Knowing the bonus point was just one try away, Luxembourg started second half like they did on first, scoring very quickly. And what a try it was: the forwards got a turn over at a breakdown close to the BUC end zone; the ball was quickly recycled finding the back line flat. Receiving the ball static, Martin passed between the legs to Gauthier Lachaise, very quick hands gave the ball to Oliver who fixed the last defender to free Gwenael Gibeaux on the corner. Opposition players, spectators and even the referee couldn’t believe what they just saw: the perfect try and a serious candidate for try of the season.   
Somehow, this try revived the opposition’s proud and with a bit of relaxation from Luxembourg, BUC scored a deserved try after the forward pack went in force over the line.
The game became less structured with much more solo actions than collective. From one of these, Gauthier scored after going through all the BUC defence alone. BUC regained composure and scored a second try on the 46th minute. From a scrum at 5m, BUC attacked the blind side scoring in front of the distracted Luxembourg defenders.   
Before the end of the game, Gauthier still had time to score his second try of the afternoon and the sixth for Luxembourg. This time, the forwards took the game to one side of the pitch and, on the first opportunity, the ball was quickly recycled to the backs and Gauthier went unstoppable till the try line.   
Final score: 10-34

Man of the Match: Jesper Christensen  

Kibubu 20 - RCL/CSCE 42

The fourth match of the season saw the RCL/CSCE U17s travel to Kibubu near Brussels. Perfect autumn conditions welcomed the team rather more warmly than the makeshift changing rooms deep in the bowels of a car park! 
Considering the number of players who are new to Rugby this season, and indeed a few who were playing their first game, the Luxembourg team gelled remarkably well with good aggressive rucking and some elusive running soon paying off. Kibubu are also a new team with several debutante players this season and a combination of some of the RCL and CSCE more seasoned players and some spirited performances from the newcomers proved too much for the home team. RCL/CSCE started quickly and soon got points on the board. A few missed tackles briefly let Kibubu back into the game, but RCL/CSCE soon re-established their superiority, eventually winning the game 42-20 with tries from Hamish Cullen (3), Robert Hopwood, Johannes Vasques, Andreas Hacker and Sean Ferreira. 
RCL/CSCE are now second in the league, with Nivelles top of the league by virtue of having played one more game. We enter a rest period now until 12th November, which will give us a chance to work on fitness and continue to enhance the skills of the many newcomers. 
The goal of promotion is well on track with four wins and four bonus points from four games.

Soignies 7 - Luxembourg 14

Weather: 12°. Cloudy, no rain
Pitch: Good
Kickoff: 13:30
Spectators: 37
Ref: M. Gunn (*****)

Luxembourg: 

 After a defeat at Boitsfort which left a bitter taste, last weekend Luxembourg Cadets travelled again to play Soignies, one of the best teams in Division 1.

Both teams started the game in a very high intensity but Luxembourg took control and stayed very much in the opposition half. This territorial occupation was rewarded with two penalties but, helped by the strong wind, the kicks went slightly wide.
However, on the 6th minute, Luxembourg forwards played superbly the breakdowns and kept going on slow balls near Soignies 22m. The first quick ball was recycled to the backs, where perfect passes fired Robert Irons into space to score.
Martin Pacaud converted for a 0-7 on the score.
From the restart, Luxembourg made the classic mistake of letting the ball bounce on the ground, fumbled with the ball and Soignies were rewarded a penalty when one of Luxembourg players kicked the ball and a team mate played it in front of him.
Soignies went for the lineout and from there mauled the ball to the try line. The equaliser came with a superb conversion.  

With the equaliser, possession and territory was better distributed between the teams but on the 20th minute Luxembourg got another break. Very much like the first try, the forwards negotiated perfectly several rucks, fixed the defenders
and when the ball went to Martin, he took advantage of the space to penetrate the opposition defence. When he was tackled near the line, Eloi Genest was in support and just had to score. Martin converted to put the score at 7-14.

With the defences being much superior to the attacks, the only threatening action in the rest of the half came from a lineout at 5m for Luxembourg but a foul on the ground prevented another try.
On second half the home team came with another disposition and decided to invert the score. Being less aggressive in the breakdowns, with a few problems in the line outs and in the kicking game and with a few dubious decisions, Luxembourg spent most of the second half defending in their 22. A strong defence and a bit of luck here and there, didn’t allow any change in the score. Luxembourg even managed to have some opportunities when three counter attacks from Robert spread the panic in Soignies defence and took the ball deep in Soignies 22. However, poor support or bad positioning gave the defenders the opportunity to stop the actions.
The final whistle came with the score unchanged at 7-14.
In the overall a well deserved victory for Luxembourg colours as they scored when they were superior and defended bravely when they were not. 
This result puts Luxembourg in an excellent third place in Belgium Cadets Divison 1.
 
Man of the Match: Robert Irons
