After two heavy defeats conceded against Nancy Seichamps and Cheminots Strasbourg, the Entente Sud Haute-Marne will try to get off on the right foot, this Sunday, October 20, with the reception at the Guy-Collin de Langres stadium in Mulhouse.
Faced with the “red lantern” of the group who suffered three big setbacks and scored only one try in three matches, the Sud Haut-Marnais are condemned to win this Sunday afternoon. No bad joke, underlines Jacques Rachet, the Entente forwards coach. “It’s clearly a bottom-of-the-table match. We need to get back into a positive dynamic against a team in difficulty. We must take advantage of playing at home, and therefore, to score points to arrive at the end of this first block of matches with a balanced record of two victories/two defeats. We clearly blew a joker in our last match against Cheminots de Strasbourg. »
The Guy-Collin stadium in Langres brings good luck to Entente Sud Haute-Marne, since at the opening of the season, they beat Saint-André-les-Vergers. Pierre Labrune’s partners took advantage of these two weeks to get back to the basics of the game. Against Mulhouse, Jacques Rachet and Aurélien Vendeur will be able to count on the return of two or three injured players, including their captain Adrien Delblouwe. “There is only one truth, that of the ground. Against the Cheminots de Strasbourg, we played backwards. We have to manage to simplify things. Mulhouse will not come as an expiatory victim. I hope the Langres pitch will bring us luck. But above all, the championship is more difficult than last season. We have to make more effort and have character as we were able to do at times against Saint-André-les-Vergers. Everyone needs to be pulling in the same direction. »
For this third home match, the instructions will be clear, namely to put things back in order and have fun. The Chaumonto/Langrois could not have lost all their rugby in the space of a month.
