In recent seasons, ProD2 has become something of a talent league. More than ever the real antechamber of the Top 14, the 2nd division provides talent in spades to its superiors, every year.
So, we know for example that the brilliant Gabin de Béziers Lorre will be heading to Lyon next summer. When other young talents are tracked.
This is particularly the case of Ugo Pacome, a young 19-year-old fullback from Colomiers, who has already scored 4 tries in 13 matches this season. A fast player (flashing at more than 35km/h), slender (1m88 for 90kg), talented and blessed with a powerful and precise left foot, he is the starting number 15 for Hauts-Garonnais this season.
The efforts pay off and I enjoy it! I feel more and more calm and better after each week of training. I'm having fun and my game is evolving. I set short-term goals for myself and they increase little by little – for the Colomiers club
A profile that necessarily interests clubs, and even the biggest ones. If the Toulouse neighbor seems to have what is needed in terms of succession in the rear triangle, Pau but also La Rochelle would like to secure his services.
If the Béarnais club seemed to be holding the rope a few weeks ago, the arrival of La Rochelle in the game has apparently changed the situation. Le Midi Olympique indicated this Monday that contacts between the two parties would be advanced, especially since Pacome has a clause in his contract to join a Top 14 club.
As a reminder, La Rochelle has already recruited the Georgian Davit Niniashvili as a full-back for next season. But the Top 14 seasons are long and the purebred Columérin probably thinks that he will have playing time at one point or another…
