The Bordeaux plan to counter the power of La Rochelle
After its historic victory in Bayonne on April 27, Union Bordeaux-Bègles took a big step in the race to qualify for the final phase at the end of the season. This evening, UBB hosts La Rochelle, one of the contenders for the Brennus shield. For this clash, Yannick Bru developed a plan to counter the opposing power and use the speed of his three-quarters to make the difference: “They are formidable with the Panzer Division. It’s going to hit hard, it’s going to hit hard. We know their DNA. But we too are going to put in the power. We are on absolute vigilance and we have prepared well. Last week , we were able to regenerate. I hope that this freshness will be beneficial.”, declared the Bordeaux-Bègles coach. In Chaban-Delmas, the Bordelo-Béglais will line up a line of five-star three-quarters with Buros, Penaud, Bielle-Biarrey, Moefana and Depoortere.
La Rochelle under pressure from Toulon and Perpignan
Still as powerful in the areas of conquest, the Rochelais are struggling in the game and find themselves struggling to hope to appear in the Top 6 at the end of the season. In Bordeaux, Ronan O’Gara’s players find a team they have not lost to since 2019. At the Jacques Chaban-Delmas stadium, Gregory Alldritt and his partners hope to push back Toulon and Perpignan who find themselves behind them in the standings. . The two teams will have the advantage of hosting Lyon and Clermont respectively. At a press conference, the La Rochelle captain highlighted the work carried out by the group at the dawn of the final sprint: “You have all seen the matches. During the week, the team does not make excuses, it analyzes, opens its eyes and sees the gaps that we still have. It’s great. In addition, we have really changed the way we work, we do it more like the start of the season, whereas we are at the end, because we need it.” For his part, Ronan O’Gara remains confident about the end of the season: “We have already won two European Cup titles but that is not enough, even if some people think that it is enough. I am a liar if I say that everything is good because everything is not good. In the Top 14, it’s in the crisis that you find something that you don’t know about your team…”
