The Toulonnais dream of scoring against UBB and are praying that Bayonne muzzle LOU on their ground in order to reach the Top 6, but is this quite reasonable because the situation is complex with three candidates for a single place? .
We remember this first leg in Bordeaux where the UBB won by a small point in Chaban thanks to a penalty from Holmes “inquired” in the 76th minute against an unleashed Toulon, that evening the Union had been hot and it is very likely that it will also be very hot in Mayol, if not more. However, after their Challenge Cup final won, RC Toulon heals their wounds and they will not be able to count on Serin and Etrillard for this match, will they have recovered because after this type of meeting which wears out the bodies a lot, recovery does not is not always easy, the wear and tear being both physical and mental. There is also the after game which is sometimes hard to digest if we never stop watering the victory. It is certain that the management will have taken care to monitor behavior to keep a phalanx in a condition to carry the iron for this final meeting of the regular season on which they place a lot of hope. In fact this sixth chair is coveted by three teams, Toulon which receives the UBB on the one hand as well as Lyon and Bayonne which will compete on the ground of the LOU. We are going to witness two matches where no one will want to lose which can give rise to very closed matches where the stakes risk prevailing over the game, all this being reinforced if the UBB gave up discovering themselves for the match at Mayol. We can thus attend either open and interesting matches, or closed and tasteless matches. For this meeting in Mayol, Mr Adrien Marbot will have to have an open and insightful eye in Toulon like Mr Tual Trainini in Lyon.
- Tambwe will occupy the position of left winger
For this match the UBB will be forced to do without its favorite Impact Player with Tameifuna who fractured his index finger in training and who is already operated on but not possible for him to return to the field. Regarding the rest of the team little change except the usual turnover but the possibilities remain limited. It is Lucu who will corner the team with the stripes of captain for this meeting where he finds his friend Jalibert at the opening, hoping that his finger dislocation will only be a bad memory because during the reception of Pau, he had been embarrassed and was full of his hand especially as he will surely be subjected to special treatment from the Toulon third line. Louis Bielle-Biarrey slips to the back and gives way to Tambwe, who we haven’t seen much this season, and he leaves a little taste of a not very successful season because he didn’t manage to stand out despite his qualities as a speed, it is unfortunately the last time that we will see Cordero under the colors of UBB in the regular season, many already regret it but he will be there for the final phase. Last day when all the clubs will play at 9:05 p.m. and you will have to follow the evening in multiplex to be aware of the sixth elected but you can also follow the matches individually
