Beauvais registered its third victory in a row after last week vtictory in championship and the victory in IECL at Vienna. It looks like the team is in better shape than ever.
Yes, it's very nice to see Beauvais getting in shape 'cause they have one of the most interesting squads in this year's IECL.
QuoteCannes lost one more set at Montpellier's (that has a lot of player missing due to injuries right now), but they scored 3 points which is the most important. It looks like Cannes plays well against good team (Tours with a short defeat 2-3, or Cuneo with a victory 3-2) but can't manage to play at the same level against weakier team. If the player can't get the same commitment on every match this is going to be a problem...
Honestly, Cannes' victory at Cuneo came as a huge surprise to me! Not that they are a weak team or don't have world-class players, just Cuneo is one of the top Italian teams and perform very stable at home... Still, I think Cuneo will advance, but Cannes are unpredictable for sure.
) and the victory at home was very emotional, especially the extremely close game against Toulouse on friday, when Tours saved 3 match points in the third set before closing the game with 3 backup players -including canadian backup setter Brock Davidiuk and young Earvin N'Gapeth- on the court. Brock Davidiuk finished with 10 points in 3 sets, and N'Gapeth - who turned 18 last month- finished with 20 points in 3 sets !
