Jesi – Rugby Jesi ’70against the third force in the ranking, Bolognafails, in the second round, to achieve what had been the magic of the feat in the first leg: from the away match in Emilia, at the home of the team they had beaten in Jesi last December for 23-22the Lions return this time with a clean stop, 85-7.
With two rounds to go before the end of the championship, they now head to the next match, which will be the last home match of the season, on Sunday April 28 to the Latins against fourth in the ranking Modena (starts at 3.30pm).
«They were in great shape – he comments coach Marco De Rossi the stop in Bologna – and certainly the motivation for redeem the stop from a group ago it made itself heard and seen. We were decimated at the last minute from the flu and we were unable to field the players we had prepared for the match with. We were a little reworked but whoever played did it well. I’m satisfied with the first half, especially the first 20 minutes in which we were excellent, then Bologna came out. We took too many points in the second half but immediately a red and a yellow, we were also numerically inferior. Now we focus on the next one.”
De Rossi explains: «It will be important to try to recover from injuries and flu during the week. We want to do one nice performance for what will be the last home match of the championship, we would like to say goodbye to the our audience in the best way”.
