All series are, in essence, made to stop. But this is absolutely not what the REC players say to themselves on the eve of moving to Drancy, where they are aiming for an eighth victory in a row. The objective is even to glean an offensive bonus point against the penultimate of the championship to garner valuable points before a strong December with two trips to Niort and Périgueux.
“This will require a much better first half than last week against Saint-Denis, because Drancy is a team that does not let go, note Kevin Courties. Be more precise, more patient, do not hesitate to take one or two more playing times. “
Good quality of travel
Eliminate this waste and these blunders interviewed at the start of the meeting. After the game calls the fault. However, the REC has great ambitions in its game, not hesitating to revive from its 22 meters, to undertake across the width of the field. “This is the philosophy of the club and this team. We don’t want to deviate from what we are. We let the players express themselves. It must be done now. If that doesn’t pay off, there will still be time to regulate a little. “
Drancy, which the REC played in a friendly match this summer, is also a team that “Seeks to produce play. It is capable of being dangerous, of generating progress, of alternating axial play and deep play”, analysis Kevin Courties.
A team that does not have the most powerful pack and probably lacks “big” ball carriers to attack the advantage line but “Which compensates with a good quality of movement, with a lot of speed behind and quality of play in the spaces. “
To counter this, the REC will move with its four centers: Hickes, Dubois, François and Lepresle. “We will test an option by placing one in the R3 (the positions of back or rear end of the field). »
In front, the REC must always do without its captains in the 2nd line, Pierre Algans is injured, as for Alex Gueroult, he has just been a dad. The staff therefore continues its workforce review and to trust its Hopes. This week it is the young second row Ross Bundy who will start in the second row for the first time. Changes that do not turn the head upside down of a team whose workforce of high aerobatics should allow it to make the roller coaster.
