Last poster of the Top 14 play-offs this Sunday evening where Union Bordeaux-Bègles hosts Racing 92 at the Jacques Chaban-Delmas stadium.
Bielle-Biarrey on the bench, Jalibert absent
After an end to the regular season punctuated by three successes in five matches, Bordeaux-Bègles wants to qualify for the semi-finals of the Top 14. For this poster against Racing 92, Yannick Bru will be deprived of his international opener Matthew Jalibert, left with an injury during the last match against Oyonnax. The UBB coach will start Matéo Garcia, in whom he has demonstrated his confidence: “Destiny put this in the way for us, we will say that he sought to balance things because Nolann Le Garrec has a strong importance in the Racing system of play. We have great confidence in the players who are here”. Detonator winger, Louis Bielle-Biarrey will start on the bench. The international should bring his vivacity in the second half to make the difference.
An exploit of the Ile-de-France residents?
Sixth in the Top 14, Racing 92 secured its qualification for the play-offs at the last minute. Against Bordeaux, Stuart Lancaster will be deprived of his scrum half, Nolann Le Garrec. At a press conference, the English coach said he expected a difficult match: “It’s been a very good week.. Our leaders have raised the bar. I have confidence in our players, I am convinced that they will represent Racing well […] In Bordeaux, there will no longer be a question of taking a defensive bonus and controlling what happens elsewhere. It will be either you win or you go out. We know how strong this UBB team is, even more so in its stadium where it is really difficult to play. Just look at what happened this season for Saracens when they went to Bordeaux. They took forty points twice and I know what Saracens are capable of.”
