Defeated in Foix, the US Foix went to the Tarn with the hope of trying a surprise against Aviron Castres a little losing ground if we refer to its current ranking.
Stopped at the Jean-Noël-Fondère stadium last November on such a narrow score (18-19) that it left huge regrets in the county city, the USF will try to surprise in South Tarn. And this, against a Castres Aviron who dominated the pool for several days and who, for the moment, has entered the “soft belly” of the classification. Which seems surprising because this complete team plays well and has two scorers, Carrié and Calmet, responsible with their golden feet for the Fuxéenne disappointment.
Rowing currently occupies 5th position in the standings with 38 points (12 games played) and 6 bonus points, while Foix is 6th, 33 counter points and yet 5 bonus points. We always come back to the same scenario, injuries decimate a loyal workforce that keeps the Fuxéen ship afloat, facing a seasoned rowing team that, we have been assured, does not seek to tap into professional players at the end of their careers. at Castres Olympic. Fact or fiction?
The match sheet will tell us if a few cures allow the resumption of competition among the “blood and gold”. The matches will take place at the Borde Basse stadium, rue Comte Emmanuel de las Cases in Castres (in case of rain, please note that there are no stands). The reserves will start at 1:30 p.m., refereed by Jérôme Passebosc. Kick-off scheduled for 3 p.m. Field referee: Jane Corrao, federal representative and Jacques Rodriguez, supervisor Victor Martinez.
Note that the FFR website indicates that the late match of the 14th day against Toulouse UC will take place on March 20 (last day of withdrawal), before the curtain falls on the qualifying phase.
