Lévezou Ségala Aveyron XV-SC Nègrepelisse, today Sunday, at 3:15 p.m., at La Primaube. Referee: Mr. Benjamin Gasc (Occitanie). Excellencies B at curtain raiser, at 1:30 p.m. Referee: Mr. Pierre-Arnaud Damian (Occitanie).
The “Red Devils” must show very quickly that their failure at home, a fortnight ago, in the first of the Tarn-et-Garonnais derbies, against Caussade (18 to 16), is just an accident. . To make him forget as quickly as possible, the best would be to return as quickly as possible. And if it's outside, that would be even better. For this, we will have to find the opening, this Sunday, at Luc-Primaube, against Lévezou Ségala which is at the bottom of the ranking. In this tough group with excellent teams, it is important to seek points away from home, to compensate for possible failures at home. We can bet that coaches Jean-Jacques Crayssac, Jérôme Barthélémy, Jean Este, and Fred Cavaillé have this secret hope. We will have the answer this evening. For this, President Florent Malby's players will have to be irreproachable in winning, to give themselves attacking balls, and sometimes arm the foot of their scorer Lucas Cavaillé, who, to feed his thirst for rugby, went, with a few others, wore the colors of Monclar-de-Quercy last week, when the Federal 3 was on break.
The return of William Ricco
For this trip, SC Nègrepelisse is still without Nathan Bounaudet, injured in a calf, but can count on the return, after a broken nose, of third row William Ricco, who wore the captain's stripes last season.
