After a third victory this season in front of Toulouse (32-12), the Villeneuvois attack the Carcassonne mountains on Saturday late afternoon (5 p.m.). We might as well write it straight away, a success in the Aude of the “green and white” would really be very big for the punters as the French champions have been walking on water since the start of the year with 6 victories for so many meetings. “They are simply untouchable!” advances Leopards coach Constant Villegas. It is therefore without the slightest pressure that the pioneer club will visit the big favorites of this Super 13. “We will still travel to Aude with ambitions and with the intention of having a good match. This meeting in front of the Carcassonnais will allow us to prepare well for future events, the arrival of Pia then the trip to Villefranche-de-Rouergue” continues Villegas satisfied with this start to the season but above all with the state of mind of the group. “We have good guys who work well in training and that translates into good results on the weekend.” It's just a shame that Jo Wambergue's teammates weren't able to collect 2 small defensive bonuses in front of Limoux and in Albi which would have allowed them to slip into the top three. “We are not going to be choosy. We already have more success than last season and we really want to stay on this same dynamic” adds the man on the ground from Villeneuve 13. In front of “Carca”, the young Villeneuve players will therefore try to resist well, to put on a good show and to play every shot to the fullest with individuals capable of shining on the pitch and doing well in the game. But during this perilous trip to the city of Aude, the visitors will above all have to come together defensively to thwart the strong offensive desires of the “Canaries”, formidable in all sectors of the game!
