Former scrum-half Guy Accoceberry spoke via The team.
The ex-French international does not hide his worry for Union Bordeaux-Bègles, as the Top 14 final approaches which will be played this Friday evening against Toulouse.
According to him, the absence of Ben Tameifuna will be detrimental to UBB.
He affirms it: without Ben Tameifuna, the UBB scrum is much less conquering. Extract:
“Without Tameifuna, the scrum was less conquering. It almost led to elimination.
Ben Tameifuna is the cornerstone of the forward pack. For several seasons, he has perhaps been the best right-hander in the world. He is at least in the top 3 when we see the World Cup he has achieved, everything he has done since he was at Bordeaux-Bègles. He is a powerful player in the scrum, tonic, he scratches the balls, he advances…”
In the process, he believes that the injury to Toulouse Cyril Baille allows the debates to be rebalanced a little. Extract:
“Baille’s injury rebalances the debates a little, but I think that Toulouse has a slightly deeper bench than that of UBB. Neti, as soon as he had to play, showed that he was at the level. »
As a reminder, UBB must already do without the services of its other right pillar, namely Sipili Falate, injured in a knee since January.
Consequently, Yannick Bru will have to turn to the South African Carlü Sadie and the Georgian Lekso Kaulashvili, for the position of right pillar.
