Matthieu Jalibert hit in the thigh, François Trinh-Duc in difficulty with a calf, Christophe Urios, the sports manager of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, had chosen to throw Matéo Garcia into the deep end for the arrival of Racing 92 on Sunday evening. Not a gift for the young opening half (19 years old) who celebrated for the occasion his first tenure in the Top 14 during this prime-time poster and in a Chaban-Delmas stadium again well stocked due to the end gauges (about 25,000 spectators).
Despite the frustrating defeat of his team on the siren, on a penalty from Ben Volavola (13-16), Matéo Garcia, who had already played two matches in La Rochelle and Toulon, did well. “He made his team play well, he had a very clean game,” slipped the former international opening half Rémi Talès (24 caps), now coach of Mont-de-Marsan (Pro D2), present in the presidential gallery, just behind the Girondin boss Laurent Marti. However, number 10 did not necessarily enter his match very well.
