Massy saw off Albion 41-23 in the National on Saturday, extending their fine run of form at home. The hosts took control early and never let the visitors back into the contest.
And here's the thing — Massy have been building momentum quietly. They won their last four matches, scoring heavily each time. Against Albion they put the game to bed early, putting 21 points on the board before the break.
We had tipped the home side to win, and the confidence sat around 70 percent. It was not a blind call — Massy had won four straight, while Albion's recent results showed inconsistency. To be fair, the away side had posted a 45-31 scoreline two weeks ago, but that was against Rouen, and this was a different proposition.
Albion looked to have nothing to do all evening. They managed 23 points but could not match the pace Massy set. The hosts' attack was relentless, and Albion's defence simply could not contain the pressure for 80 minutes.
The result keeps Massy in the upper half of the table and extends their winning streak to five games. Albion's away record takes another hit, and they will need to find consistency if they want to climb away from the lower reaches.
