They stopped counting the times their leaders confused them. Arrived in 2022 on the banks of the Eure, Thomas Prudhon, the first line from Cognac / St-Jean, and Lucas Prudhomme, the second line from Nevers, immediately hit it off. By force of circumstances. And chance.
Born 24 hours apart
“It’s true that I had never come across a Prudhomme until my arrival in Chartres. The proximity of our names immediately brought us closer. And when we found out we were born 24 hours apart, we thought it was funny! “recalls Thomas Prudhon, born July 24, 2000, the more extroverted of the two men.
Who are the sixteen CCR recruits?
Unlike his one-day junior, Lucas Prudhomme is silent. “Thomas is a talker. He told me that he once spent 7 hours talking non-stop in a car, on the road to Montpellier, with his father. Me, not saying anything for hours, it doesn’t bother me! “says “the Prud”, the most athletic of the two “twins” (1.91 m for 128 kg). A “reassuring” template. “Having Lucas behind me in the scrum is a real comfort. It’s a big pusher! “, praises the one that his partners have nicknamed Roby. “Go and find out why,” asks the person concerned, the less “tall” of the two men (1.75 m, 101 kg). The fact is that Prudhon and Prudhomme have contributed greatly to making the Chartres pack one of the most feared in the Federal 1.
C’Chartres Rugby has resumed
The fruit of a complementarity born very early. “We don’t spend our lives together but we have a lot in common. We are fairly discreet guys, not the type to put ourselves forward, ”develops Prudhomme, as much a lodger as his partner. “One evening, we were coming home from a party. On the way to Thomas, I grabbed a construction panel, I put it on my shoulder with the idea of redecorating it! “, confesses the Creusois. “We obviously put it back in place! », Corrects the hooker, thrower of balls of course, but also of challenges.
No need to look very far for the antics of the native of Beaune (Côte d’Or). “During the cohesion course, I easily won the “tasting” challenge. On the menu, it was brains and tongue of lamb! “, laughs Prudhon, under the disgusted gaze of Prudhomme.
If the list of their common points is as long as their muscular arms, it nevertheless has an end. The first has all the good life, while the second assumes “embittered”, and not very confident in the human species: “I do not like people who take themselves for what they are not! “, he warns.
Difficult to separate
In the same way, the second line considers rugby as a profession and not as a passion. “I’m not a rugby fanatic. I started with football and I’m a fan of Playstation! “claims Prudhomme while Prudhon never misses a broadcast of his favorite sport on TV. “I passed my diplomas and I can see myself training later,” he certifies.
In short, between Burgundy and Limousin, there are still many differences. But difficult to dissociate the two blondes with light eyes. In the locker room, a recurring joke even claims that the (fake) twins have the same father! Not to be taken seriously! Rugby spirit…
