Ce Sunday December 22 at 3:15 p.m., Stade Piscénois travels to Aubagne for the first day of the return phase. During the first leg, the Stadistes won eight victories, as many as last season across all matches. This is encouraging, but we must not get carried away and remain vigilant. Before the match against Les Angles, captain Fabio Calas already warned: “We must not get excited. Let us remain humble. Everything still remains to be done.” Comments that he confirmed after the victory against Servian: “Let's remain reasonable. Nothing has been achieved yet, let's concentrate on maintaining it.”
Since then, part of the progress has been made and maintenance is on track. This trip to Aubagne, for the last match of the calendar year, can be an opportunity to spend the holidays peacefully and move towards the objective of qualification. For this, victory is imperative. But we will have to be more killer than in Jacou where the Violets got into difficulties on their own by not carrying out the actions that should have been concluded.
The Provençaux want to leave the relegation ranks and need a home victory to do so. They lost last week against Cavaillon and are waiting for the Piscénois to redeem themselves. During the first leg, they lowered their flag (17-6) in the city of Molière and are determined to take their revenge. They pounded a lot from their forwards by choosing penalties and forgetting to take points. The people of Hérault constantly repelled them. “They defended, dented near our line several times without giving up anythingrecall coaches Julien Bergès and Nicolas Tisané. Rugby is a story of desire, a story of men.” This same desire and respect for the collective can make the difference in Bouches-du-Rhône.
In the opening match, at 1:30 p.m., Team II must confirm its success (22-21) in the first leg. Faced with a physically superior team, she was able to respond valiantly to the proposed fight. She will have to renew this commitment for eighty minutes otherwise she will become disillusioned like in Jacou.
