Stade Français faces Union Bordeaux-Bègles this Saturday in the second semi-final of the Top 14.
After almost ten years of absence, Stade Français returns to the semi-finals of the Top 14. The Parisians finished the regular phase in second place, thus avoiding the quarter-finals of the final phase. Laurent Labit’s men were therefore able to prepare for this match against UBB with more time than their evening opponents. “If we can get the shield by playing like that, we won’t deprive ourselves of it,” declared the Stade Français manager while his team is considered rather defensive.
On the other hand, UBB is often presented as an offensive team. The Bordelais will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd because the Top 14 semi-finals take place at Matmut Atlantique. The Unionists had to get rid of Racing 92 in the quarter-finals of the final phase with a fairly large victory (31-17). Now they must overcome this semi-final curse. Over the last three seasons, UBB has never managed to reach the Top 14 final.
