They have “the sign” since September 11, when the season kicked off. “Professional team” or “oversized” the opponents did not spare the CCR “programmed to go up”. And so far, the Chartrains have fully assumed their status as favorites for accession to N2.

As far as we are concerned, we did not deliver a successful performance, we remained in the reaction”, deplores the manager of the CCR, who is already planning for the decisive match: “The imperative will be to be more precise in our ascents from the camp and more effective in the rucks, ”warns the technician, who will have to do without Mamadou Ndiaye, touched in the elbow in the first leg and unavailable until the end of the month.
The opportunity for the CCR to demonstrate the density of its workforce since it is Lilian Camara who will replace him on the right wing. The opportunity also to prove that the two defeats in a row conceded away to Gennevilliers in the regular season (27-24) then to Peyrehorade, even a month apart, are only temporary. There is no more…
