Will the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastián, home of Real Sociedad, see a victory for Aviron bayonnais this Saturday?
It has been two seasons since the Basque leaders established this annual Spanish relocation, 60 kilometers southwest of their almost impregnable favorite venue, the Jean-Dauger stadium.
First for Manu Tuilagi
Problem, Rowing lost in its last two outings in March 2023 against Pau (20-30) then in March 2024 against Toulon (10-39).
In addition to this “curse”, the Basques will have a hard time facing Stade Rochelais, solid runner-up to the UBB after five days.

On the squad side, English international center Manu Tuilagi, injured during summer preparation, will make his debut for Rowing. For the Rochelais, the third row and captain Grégory Alldritt, as well as the wingers Jack Nowell and Dillyn Leyds, rested last weekend, will be back.

Test for La Rochelle and Kuntelia?
Aleksandre Kuntelia seems to throw himself into the Bayonne goal. Did it flatten? Video refereeing and jersey change for Alldritt.
16′
The Rochelais invest the 22 meters of Aviron, while Anoeta pushes. A little space for Dillyn Leyds on the outside… Bayonne defends well. The referee returns to the penalty for La Rochelle. The target at 5 meters is aimed.
14′
Segonds countered in his 22 meters
First warning for Bayonne: Segonds is blocked in his camp. Fortunately for Rowing, La Rochelle is guilty of a step forward!
12′
???? La Rochelle is not there at all…
Nothing is going well for La Rochelle! Antoine Hastoy is taken for an offside position in his camp… Joris Segonds is not deprived and transforms the penalty: 4/4. It’s already 20-0!
7′
Rowing ignites the start of the match: second try!
Rowing doesn’t stop! The Bayonnais left their mark at the start of the match: 3/4 ignited the La Rochelle defense with Tiberghien and a solo number from Sireli Maqala which could have ended in the in-goal. It’s ultimately the “big guys” who come out strong thanks to Facundo Bosch! It’s transformed!
5′
Callandret for the first try of Bayonnais
It’s off to a great start for the Bayonnais! After a rough kick from Dulin, Machenaud clearly sees Callandret who extends with his foot along the touchline… The winger overtakes the La Rochelle defense and scores the first try of the match! Gorgeous ! It is transformed by Segonds.
2′
The entry ball is well captured by Alldritt, Kerr-Barlow fails to find the touchline. the Bayonnais attack the line thanks to a great breakthrough from Habel-Küffner. The Rochelais are penalized and Segonds, just under the poles, offers the first 3 points to Rowing.
