“Toulon is the match of the year” for the UBB

“Toulon is the match of the year, launched this week Christophe Urios, the manager of the UBB. We will face a team that will not qualify if they lose. And us, if we win, that will put us in a very good position for the top 6”. If successful, combined with a misstep from Lyon (7th) against Montpellier (1st) or Toulouse (6th) against La Rochelle (3rd), the Girondin club would validate its qualification and could concentrate on the top 2 on the last two days (against Lyon and Perpignan). The stakes are high.

Become a master again in Chaban

For this, the UBB will have to become masters at all costs at Chaban-Delmas, where they have lost in their last four matches (Racing 92, Pau, La Rochelle in the Top 14 and in the Champions Cup). “I’m sick of hearing the music of the guys opposite,” sighs Christophe Urios. Since the end of January, we have not won at home. I hope that this time, we will hear our music”.

On February 12, the first leg at Mayol (21-18) marked the beginning of UBB’s troubles and launched the awakening of the RCT, which went from the fight to maintain to the fight for the top 6. Another pressure. “We forged a character around that. In February, we were 14^e. We’ve known for a long time that we don’t have a mattress, ”said Toulon manager Franck Azéma, whose team has scored 11 points out of a possible 15 during his last four trips.
