Like last season, do not look for the Montalbanais at the top of the rankings this season. The start of the season is complicated, very complicated for the Tarn-et-Garonnais who are slow to regain their effectiveness in recent seasons to reach mid-season in 13th place in the ranking (26 points) far behind the leaders Perpignan and Grenoble ( 49 points), eleven points from the last qualifying place and seven points before the first relegation, Rouen. Note also that the USM has one more meeting to fight following the famous episode of staph that lead training for a month. As we can see, the circumstances are not favorable to Tarn-et-Garonnais, and consequently the figures that go with it. We bet they can only do better in the last sixteen meetings. So that the club’s new strongman, Jean-Claude Maillard, shines again.

Defeats in Sapiac: 3
If the Sapiacans seem more liberated far from the bowl, when they enter the lawn of Sapiac it is much more complicated with three defeats on the clock since the start of the season, against Nevers (26-19) and especially the last two meetings at home, facing Carcassonne (20-24) and Colomiers (19-21). The reception of Valence-Romans on January 10 promises to be very important …
