Rugby Club CERN – Meyrin – Saint-Genis

RC CMSG pulled off a legendary 22-14 win this weekend in Zürich. The club had not won there for 18 years!

Two first half Emmanuel Florstan tries saw RC CMSG on their way to win at the Allmend, along with a Rodrigo Sanchez Panizza’s second half score.

The game started with Zurich’s battling forwards taking the pressure right to the CMSG line, and plowing over for a third minute try. RC CMSG regrouped, and worked their way upfield for Florestan’s first score in the corner, quickly followed by another.

An even and good spirited game, the second half saw an interception by winger Mikael Cadet, who offloaded 10m before the line to scrum half Fabien Vaudant, who in turn flicked it to Sanchez Panizza who scored under the posts.

The game was marked by excellent handling on behalf of the CMSG backs, Marc Escudié at 10 leading the boat, with centres Gabe Wills and Marco Bambace showing off their excellent skills at pace.

Zurich’s replying try came all too late, and CMSG came away smiling from this game, having ensure their place in Switzerland’s top flight!

Now on to Hermance on sunday 2nd of May for the final league game. Kick off at 2pm.
