Bourges XV is back on the field after a trying month of January during which it failed to capitalize (6 points taken out of 20). Jérémy Leclerc’s teammates are nevertheless still concerned by the race for the play-offs, but are now closely followed by Dole and Le Creusot.
The number: 7
Red lantern, Stade Pontellois remains on a series of seven consecutive defeats. Pontault Combault has not won in the league since the 6th day, in October, against Antony Metro 92 (7-3) and has a game behind.
The declared
“We are no longer in the spirit of the first leg. The climatic conditions will not be the same and, because of injuries, we will be deprived of a third of our team. »
Arnaud Roche (Coach of Bourges XV)
–
In the first leg won, Bourges XV won with a record score of 81-18. The expulsion of a player in the first period had certainly not helped the affairs, already badly embarked, of the Ile-de-France residents.
The group (probably)
Bourges XV deplores many absentees. In front, Ionut Bratu is still suspended, Sisa Koyamabole is injured, Nicolas Soulet is in the recovery phase and Jérémy Leclerc, touched against the PUC, should start on the bench. In this case, the armband should go over the arm of scrum-half Anthony Arthus.
The other nine, Célestin Guillon-Romarin, is injured. Just like, in three-quarters, the Fijian Adriu Delai and the South African Brian Van Niekerk. So many absences which notably allow Selui, Demeuzoy, Pasques or Bourdariat to return to the group.
Replacements: Ratavo, Demeuzoy, Leclerc, Tuufui, Pasques, Bourdariat, R. Bourdin (or Laville or Soulet).
