Colomiers The break allowed the players and staff to recharge their batteries mentally and physically, and to analyze what went wrong at the start of the season.
A delay in ignition, nothing more. After all, Colomiers rugby is only two points from the qualifying places, with this championship which has just started and which sees everyone winning against everyone (with the exception of Vannes!). The very disappointing poor performance at Dax must be erased to get back on better footing. This is also what this cut was used for by the Columérin staff. “We debriefed with the staff, then with the players. And we tried to find solutions with the players so that they had bonding, cohesion,” reveals Florian Nicot, in charge of three-quarters. After a beneficial four-day break, since the Columérins had not had a full week of rest since returning to training on June 19, the whole group was able to analyze the dross of the start of the season. “On the trip to Dax, there is certainly the fatigue of this first block, the consequences of a group restricted by injuries… But there are points in common with previous matches, such as taking tries too easily , with one or two passes.”
The opportunity to get back up
This is a fact observed in particular by the back line players coached by Florian Nicot. “These are things that we have worked on and that we will correct very quickly,” he assures us. “And on the offensive side, we noted this lack of continuity in the game, this lack of initiative. And it’s this grain of madness that is usually our strength. So we looked at that too.”
Finally, this rather particular calendar of the Pro D2 version of the 2023 World Cup offers La Colombe the opportunity to redeem itself and raise its head immediately. “That’s what’s good about sport in general,” says the man who spent fourteen seasons in professional rugby as a player. chance to face a big piece of the championship, almost the best there is.” The Aix-en-Provence club may have delivered two less convincing final matches, but it remains a leader in the division and will come to Michel-Bendichou with intentions. Then, the Columérins will be able to prove that their victory against Grenoble was not insignificant.
