US Bressane – SO Chambéry (Friday at 19:30)
Chambéry goes directly to the developer
SO Chambéry started the season on the right foot, like last year after their inaugural success at Dax, beating a captivating team from Tarbes at home.
Chambéry will face Bourg-en-Bresse this Friday in an advanced match (at 19:30). The Bressan club, a candidate for an immediate comeback, which has almost kept its Pro D2 workforce, has been trapped in the Dax (23-17). “Without pressure, except to play well” according to his sports manager, Cyril Villain. And if Chambéry will be able to express himself and play well … “The pressure will be above all for them, after three defeats in a row, two in a friendly and one in the league, and in front of their crowd that will arrive in large numbers, while we are still under construction”, he adds. his co-coach in charge of forwards, Juan Pablo Orlandi.
The “break” began earlier than last season in the yellow and black team, who will be deprived, following the victory against Tarbes, of his hooker Julien Primault, who was hit in the plexus. And one of the tufts from behind him, Theo Velten, automatically suspended after the red card received on the first day. Mao (groin) and Moreno (hip), behind, are still discreet. On the other hand, the former Brive Steevy Cerqueira, released for a shoulder problem against the Haut-Pyrénéens after a remarkable performance and not only in the air (2And The Portuguese international line shows 2.06m under the arm), is fit and is present in the group of 23.
The group of 23 from Chambéry: Lorenzon, Fernandes; Bruté de Rémur, Begig; audio; Pertaia; Guyot, Witz, Cerqueira; Coignat, Dance, Grenod (hat), Lebian; (m) Deschaux, Dufau; (o) Cilliers, Reymond; Mawalu, Goneva, Pisano, Hecquet, Dorrival.

CSBJ – Narbonne (Saturday at 18:30)
Bourgoin, a “great” to confirm
Winning under penalty of their first league match last Sunday on the lawn of one of the two promoters, Hyères / Carqueiranne (22-30), CSBJ must confirm this Saturday for their first of the season in Rajon (kick-off at 6: 00: 30 pm). The opponent, Narbonne, is of a completely different caliber, because he is relegated from Pro D2 and Bourgoin will have to put in the intensity and commitment necessary from the beginning: “It is a team that has a great defense, very aggressive, it is it’s up to us to put ourselves in a position to play, explains Sébastien Tillous-Borde, the Berjallian coach. It will be a difficult game and from the videos I have seen it is also a playful team, who beat Nice in 1time day (17-9), a lot of distrust. “
For this shock, CSBJ has a similar group to last week, with three exceptions: left pillar Adrien Devisme, injured in his shoulder, will be replaced at the kick-off by Romain Favaretto, who arrived from Blagnac this summer and an excellent Sunday in the Var for 75 minutes. Nugzar Somkhishvili, Carcassonne medical joker (Pro D2), should therefore know his first official match sheet, as a substitute. Former Audois Maxime Castant will start at the heel while Mohamed Khribache will take his place on the bench. A bench that finds the first goal Romain Sola thanks to a choice of the staff to favor a rotation of five forwards / three full backs (with Hutteau and Nicolas). Defender and scorer Nicolas Cachet, ill in Hyères but still scoring 20 walking points, is much better off and will keep his place.
The probable XV: Cachet – Foliaki, C. Bosch, I. Leota, Lefort – (o) Vuillemin, (m) Sidobre – Th. Cotte, Luafutu, K. Rivoire – L. Cotte (cap.), Gascou – M. Simutoga, M. Castant, Favaretto.
Sur le banc: Somkhishvili, Khribache, Yilmaz, Lavetanakoroi, Rabatel, Hutteau, Sola, M. Nicolas.

Valence Romans Drôme-Rugby – Blagnac (Saturday at 19:00)
The VRDR wants to confirm at home
After beating Cognac in extremis on Sunday (23-20), VRDR begins its season at home on Saturday 9 September (19:00) on the occasion of Blagnac’s reception. Strengthened by the confidence acquired during the inaugural success against Albi (19-15), the Blagnacais will reach the conquest of Drôme. Suffice it to say that the Dama will be expected in the round for the first season at home.
Yes, because it will not be necessary to reproduce the same mistakes of Cognac, where a certain relaxation is almost (very) expensive. Blagnac seems more armed than the Charentais formation and will not hesitate to punish the slightest mistake by Drôme and why not a robbery. But also because with the status of candidate for the climb shouted loud and clear, the VRDR has no room for error, especially at home, against a team that does not seem, despite everything, to really fight in the same category.
“We have to show continuity to score points in front of our audience,” Johann Authier whispered at a press conference. All you have to do is do it on the lawn.
The beginning XV of Valence-Romans: Moura – Emerson, Bouldoire, Neiceru, Giresse – Meret (o.), Menzel (m.) – Iashagashvili, Girlando, Wardrobe (cap.) – Goumat, Dyer – Hair, Frame Pena, Aleo. Substitutes: Zouhair, Boundjema, Balust, Uys, Brayer, Vargas, Quinnez, Dupas, Cazès.
