This Friday evening the Top 14 final will be played between Toulouse and Bordeaux-Bègles, at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.
As this meeting approaches, the former coach of the XV of France and now rugby consultant for Canal +, Marc Lièvremont spoke via Sud-Ouest.
According to him, Bordeaux-Bègles will have to play the perfect match to hope to win against Toulouse. Extract:
“UBB will have to play the perfect match. She will have to give herself the means to seize opportunities because despite the experience of Toulouse, there are match scenarios that could work in their favor. Leaving the ball to Toulouse, spending your time defending and countering exclusively, that would be a form of suicide. We will have to play and produce.”
He believes that for the moment, everything is going in the direction of Toulouse.
But he affirms it: Bordeaux has weapons capable of achieving exploits. Extract:
“A final is a match apart. On objective criteria everything is going in the direction of Stade Toulousain. But UBB can thwart Toulouse. They have players who are devourers of space capable of achieving exploits with Tambwe, Penaud and Bielle-Biarrey who, despite his youth, shows consistency, maturity and quite brilliant talent.
