Don’t think about Beauvais’ next trip, which promises to be dangerous, and do the job this Sunday, in front of Gennevilliers, 11th in the standings. This is the mission assigned to Renaud Gourdon’s players, who have occupied the chair of leader since the 7th matchday and their victory in front of Geneva (18-16, November 6).
Chris Tafili’s partners are in the sights: extending the unbeaten streak in the league, which has been holding up for almost two months (a 22-19 defeat on 8 October in Nuits-Saint-Georges, which remains the only one this season).
2nd line fractions
“We must not take the easy way out or go overboard. What we had done in front of the PUC seemed consistent throughout the match (62-3)”, indicates the coach of Chartrain, who will recover Chris Massyn for the reception of the penultimate in the standings. To spur his men to vigilance, there’s no need to search the archive locker long: Drancy’s “non-match”, which ended in a narrow aimless victory (a first this season for the JRC) , on November 12 (15-7) or the two points lost at home against other residents of Ile-de-France, those of Saint-Denis, on September 25 (13-13).
Renaud Gourdon is sounding the alarm
To avoid leaving new points along the way and to get in optimal conditions before going to challenge Beauvais (5th), the Chartrains can count on the return of Brendon Snyman and on new adjustments in the starting XV, as a rule since the start of the season. season. The versatile Julien Hamiaux will be in the second row while the Portuguese Helano Alberto will go down to the third. For the hinge, Simon Aboumejd-Le Berre will be deployed from the start, as against Drancy, and this time he will be joined by the Argentine Almela, called up last week with the team of hopes.
