The importance of details. This is what the staff insisted on Friday morning after the installation. A reminder for the Tarb group because the slightest gap against Nice is not forgiving. The Azureans, 2is of the championship before this 15th day, are where we expected them at the start of the year. “It’s a methodical team, clinical in its approach and that requires a lot of concentration from the opponent,” explains Fabien Fortassin. An analysis that can be illustrated by the scenario of the first leg. The Stado thought they had done the hardest part by taking the wide 16-6 thirty minutes from the end. Less twirling, and experience, the Stadium had been able to break the pace to return to 16-16, little by little, without panicking against the Bigourdans not enough killers.
Opposition of styles
It is therefore by speeding up that Tarbes can hope to annoy a Provencal team which has just lost for the first time this season last weekend in Albi (21-19). “We hope to be able to play on the move, to find the launches we made in the fall,” explains the three-quarter coach – frustrated with the last two outings of his troops in the snow and ended in two defeats – who knows that the Tarbais salute will pass through there.
Because in terms of power, the Stado does not seem able to compete in the city of angels with Pretorius (convalescence), Bessonart (rest), Vigne (suspended) or Ricart (injured) who are missing. This limits a bit as to the field of possibilities. “Yes, it’s difficult because we put young people in front, recognizes Stéphane Ducos, who assumes this desire to establish the local fiber. But these young people, they are guys from our region, and within two or three years, it will perhaps be them who will be the dominant players of this National. They have to play, even if it means having a round back, because they store up a lot of experience. “In Nice, there will indeed be a bonfire, but Fabien Fortassin expects this rejuvenated Stado to dare, even if it means making a mistake. “If we do not cause events, it is sure that nothing positive will happen for us. “
