“Of course, it’s nicer to have a beer in the locker room at the end of the match than to wonder, with your head down, why we lost such and such a match!“. Kevin Burgaud, the three-quarter center of RC Vannes, one of the former team, sums up the state of mind that reigns at the moment within the Breton rugby club. After the defeat at home against Perpignan two weeks ago, players and staff get back in the saddle and prepare their shot well.With eleven different starters compared to the group that started against Perpignan, RC Vannes won a week later at Oyonnax. “Too bad for the sorrowful spirits and those who think that we are there by chance with the Covid and the fact that not everyone has played the same number of matches”, specifies Kevin Burgaud. For the moment Vannes is taking advantage of this, deploying his game worked all week in training and especially wants to take advantage of the happiness that this first place brings.
Now the camera, that’s for sure, it’s not what we want
Kevin Burgaud repeats it: “We know we have one of the hottest audiences in the championship.” The one who pushes his team by singing the now famous: “Here, it’s La Rabine!”. This second match played in front of empty stands after that of Perpignan must be synonymous with mistrust. Because Vannes knows it well. The team have often won away this season in stadiums devoid of supporters. We must also confirm at home against the 9th in the championship, “a rough team, which hits hard in the regroupings”, explains Kevin Burgaud.
