Béziers Upsets Vannes: New League Leader | [Sport/League Name]

At the opening of the 15th day of Pro D2, Béziers created a surprise by taking on leader Vannes this Thursday.

The nice surprise. Béziers, poorly classified in Pro D2 and sanctioned this week with a withdrawal of points, took on the leader Vannes (23-17), Thursday at home at the opening of the 15th day.

Béziers, with Biarritz and Dax, is one of the three Pro D2 clubs penalized with a withdrawal of points this week decided by the Rugby Disciplinary Council for accounting irregularities.

Reduced by two points and 13th at kick-off, the Biterrois dominated the leader and ultra-favorite in the climb thanks in particular to two tries from hooker Yanis Boulassel (9th and 21st). They move up to 12th place.

Vannes remains first with seven points ahead of Valence-Romans which will face 4th Colomiers on Friday while Provence Rugby, 3rd, will travel to penultimate Mont-de-Marsan.
