France: victory for Plessis Robinson, Poitiers and Tours. COVID stops Montpellier

Only three of four matches of Round 13 of French Ligue A scheduled on Saturday were played, as the game between Montpellier and
Paris has been postponed until further notice due several cases of COVID-19 among the home team.
Either way, only home victories today: newcomers Plessis Robinson, led by Rouzier
(22 points and 74% in attack) and Hugo De Leon Guimaraes (15 points and 63% in attack) defeated Nantes with a clear 3-0. Poitiers take their third seasonal victory by beating 3-1 Toulouse, without starting opposite Daniel Cagliari (but with another good performance of Panou) and of starting libero Santucci, with 10 teams (5 for Penchev, also author of 23 points), while leaders Tours defeated more and more last placed Cannes, despite the debut of new head coach Matijasevic, but still without starting setter Gelinski and, after Fromm’s departure, on the way to Italy also opposite Nelli). MVP of the match Teryomenko, author of 10 points, 86% in attack, 1 ace and 3 winning blocks.
