December 12, 2021 – February 26, 2022. It has been 76 days since the last match at Beaublanc for USAL, which is preparing to return to its lair tonight (8 p.m.) against Marcq-en-Barœul.
Since the victory in front of Beauvais (35-31), the Limougeauds have not been successful, chaining three bonus defeats away – Floirac (19-13), Drancy (12-9) and Langon (21-20) _ and two postponements (Basin d’Arcachon, Niort) to get in line. With now three matches behind and ten points ahead of the first non-qualified, the finals remain more than ever the first objective of USAL which is currently in 8th place. But the situation and the ambitions of the club summon Maxence Boissière and his partners to react as quickly as possible.
“We have to get back to winning ways, that’s obvious, recognizes Sébastien Danovaro. We have to set the record straight”.
It is true that his latest performances invite the Limougeaud collective to make certain adjustments. “We are not good in discipline and in finishing, underlines the coach of the back lines. We are not able to complete our chances. In Langon, we “break” the opposing defense six times, we only score one try despite situations of excess. Result, we do not kill the match ”.
“A Violent Session”
For the Limougeaud technician, the lack of efficiency of his troops goes beyond the “right gesture at the right time”. “Our offensive animation must go through cleaner conquest phases, he explains. We have a problem with cleaning. We have to fight more on the ground, be more present in the collisions against the teams who offer us more fight ”.
Estevenet, back to the future

The Limougeaud camp did its introspection at the start of the week with, in the words of Sébastien Danovaro, a “violent session in the engagement” on Tuesday. Because in the commitment, it will be necessary this Saturday evening against Marcq-en-Barœul. Northerners with revenge after their defeat in the first leg (26-15) but also in the fight for direct access to the National 2 which goes through a performance at Beaublanc.
“We are preparing for a big match, warns Sébastien Danovaro who records the return of his captain Maxence Boissière. This will go through more aggressiveness in duels. We have no questions to ask. It’s a match you have to win to put an end to this bad patch and position yourself as high as possible for the final stages. We need the win.”
USAL has been waiting for 76 days.
