ProD2: the VRDR receives Aurillac to keep hope for maintenance

After eight consecutive games without a win, Valence-Romans are forced to win

If there is still a small chance to stay in Pro D2, it necessarily involves a victory this Friday night against Aurillac. Eight points behind in the standings by the first non-relegation, the Checkers will have to win at least four successes in the last seven matches of the season. After encouraging performances in Perpignan, Colomiers and Mont-de-Marsan, Johann Authier’s men must now validate the progress shown during these outings.

Three changes in the starting 15 after the draw at Mont-de-Marsan

Johann Authier made just three changes to start this crucial meeting against Aurillac. Romain Colliat will start as hooker, Nicolas Faltrept has been chosen as scrum half instead of Nicolas Faure and Dug Codjo returns to the position of three quarter wing to replace Eddy Sawailau, injured and “out” until ‘at the end of the season.
