Boitsfort - Luxembourg

This Saturday, October 1, we'll travel to Brussels to play Boitsfort for Day 3 of Belgium Cadets Division 1.

Boitsfort - Luxembourg

Chemin de la Forêt de Soignes
1770 Watermael-Boitsfort
Bruxelles

Kick off: 13:30

Departure: 9:00
Arrival: 18:00

The players in the list below are selected for the game and must be at the Glacis at 9:00.

IMPORTANT: Don't forget an ID Card or Passport. You cannot play without it.

Like last season we’ll have players in standby. There’s always a chance of a last minute absence due, for instance, to sickness and there’s always a chance you will play. So, please, bring your rugby gear.  

The players not selected are much welcomed to come and support your team.

Please, bring some food and drinks. As I won’t be on the bus you can play your own films :)

I know everybody wants to play this game and some of you will be disappointed for not being selected or not being in the starting team. Although it’s a game at the top of the league, for us it’s just another game. Whatever the score, nothing will change.

We are playing at this level because we don’t have only the 15 players who are allowed on the pitch at the start of the game. Everybody is important and sometimes the player not in the 22 is more important than the others. It’s because of him the others perform well and he can enter the team at any time. I have to make a choice and, believe me, I don’t take it lightly and it’s not an easy one. When the decision is taken is always thinking about what’s best for the team. This means a lot of things are taken in consideration among which, of course, the rugby skills. However, it doesn’t mean we’ll pick up always the best individual 15 players. The best 15 players don’t make necessarily the best team.

Luxembourg:

Saturday, Luxembourg Cadets started a new adventure and a big challenge of playing for the first time in Belgium Division 1. They couldn’t have a better start. Facing a very good team from ASUB which missed last season play offs only on score difference, Luxembourg controled the game and scored in the right moments to finish with the final score 18-0.

Both teams started nervously, trying to figure out what they were facing. Luxembourg adapted first and slowly began to get some advantage in set pieces and managing some turnovers. On the 8^th minute, from one turnover in ruck, the ball was quickly recycled and Martin Pacaud found the space in ASUB defence to enter and score between the posts. The rest of the first half was spent mostly in the middle field with both teams defending better than they were attacking. Luxembourg was always a little more threatening but the score didn’t change and with Martin converting the try, half time arrived with a deserved 7-0 for Luxembourg.

One could expect ASUB wouldn’t give up easily and would try to come back right from the beginning of second half but Luxembourg had the kickoff and ASUB gave away a penalty for off side after a couple of phases. A clever decision to go for the posts plus the ability of Martin and the score was 10-0 just after one minute.

ASUB fought back and took the game close to Luxembourg’s 22 but they were never in position to score points. From another turnover on the 43^rd minute the ball was superbly handled by the back line all the way close to the opposition 22 and a great support from the 3^rd row set Christian Olsen to the second try. ASUB seemed a little disoriented and Luxembourg was now dominant everywhere but unable to take more than another penalty converted by Martin on minute 51.

Not wanting to end the game with zero on the score, ASUB managed to find the energy and motivation to spend the last five minutes close to the try line. Luxembourg roll up the sleeves, defended well and the final whistle arrived with the score 18-0.

This was an excellent rugby game with both teams committed and playing in a very good spirit. Luxembourg showed a great personality and displayed an excellent performance with very good rugby. Continuity was great; defence excellent and only small mistake when attacking prevented them of a better score.

Man of the Match: Martin Pacaud        

Le Far Est 0 - Luxembourg RC 131
