The meeting which will pit Castres Olympique against Union Bordeaux Bègles this Saturday at 9:05 p.m. as part of the 12th day of the TOP 14 is an opportunity to look back on the victory recorded by the Olympians against the Bordelais during the 2002-2003 season. A meeting during which Ugo Mola and Romain Teulet particularly distinguished themselves. The word duplicate, like many expressions in the French language, has several definitions. We will focus here on that which consists of repeating the same thing twice or doing things twice. Ugo Mola, the current manager of Stade Toulousain, certainly does not appreciate the double championship-Tournament of the Six Nations which will arrive, but must on the contrary remember with happiness a double, or rather a double, that he signed on March 1, 2003 under the Castres colors.
Quicker than everyone to follow and flatten a follow-up kick from Nadau (36th), the international winger will find the fault again at the start of the second half (46th). Romain Teulet, starting at the back then replaced at the opening after the serious injury of Thierry Lacroix in the 5th minute, will do even better by signing a hat-trick… in the drop category! His skill in this exercise in the 59th, 70th (45 meters) and 75th minute, coupled with a transformation and a penalty goal in the last moments (80th) will largely contribute to the short victory of the blue and white over the Girondins who will return to a breath after scoring a try through Kuzbik in stoppage time. A meeting from another time, but a final score of total relevance since the Tarnais will win by three points (24-21). Note in the Bordeaux ranks, in addition to the presence of Christophe Laussucq, future Castres, that of Michel Macurdy in the second row. His son Romain today wears the Castres Olympique overcoat. When we tell you that rugby is a big family.
