A great satisfaction, now up for grabs in the next match: “After a week of rest, the players are back to train with appetite. We were able to hone our collective and work on defense and conquest. The match against Marmande is crucial and only a victory will validate our recent success. We expect a tough match, with a lot of intensity against a team that we know to be rich in quality, proof of this is his recent victory against Niort. “
It hasn’t fallen yet
And to continue looking into the medium term: “Sunday we start a new block of three big matches where we will then face Marmande, then Niort and Auch, two of the favorites of the group. It is therefore imperative to be respected in our land. Also, we will have a big thought for Patrick Despiets, says the tambourinayre, a loyal fan of the club who has just left us. “
It should therefore be hot and indecisive on Sunday in Teste-de-Buch. For the locals the opportunity is excellent to return to mid-table, because despite their slow start to the season, the RCBA has not yet dropped in the table. He is three points behind his opponent of the day Marmande and seven points from 6And Lanmezan. A four-point win would be more than enough for Simon Mannix’s men, especially as Tyrosse and Floirac, just ahead of the table, will face Saint-Jean-de-Luz for the Landais and Anglet for the outskirts of Bordeaux.
Still missing
For this meeting there will still be many people missing. Indeed, Jérémy Box, the first scorer, ended his season at Fleurance (Editor’s note: cruciate ligament rupture) and Brice Poiteau is out for a few weeks (shoulder dislocation). Mateusz Bartoszek, Louis Bomard, Jimi Daros-Ducourneau, Amaury Geneste and Jeff Williams are still in the infirmary. Maxime Bats is suspended and Mihai Macovei and Lionel Campergue are retained in the Romanian national team for the first and with Portugal for the second.
Obviously it’s a lot, but fortunately the group that recently joined Mike Farmer and Pierre Plazzer should finally be able to count on Matti Williams, Karl Malanda and Juan de Beer, even if they have just arrived from South Africa. .
