He missed the trip to Montpellier and will not be back before the end of the block. Anton Bresler is the victim of a calf injury, Jean-Noël Spitzer announced this Wednesday at a press conference. “He is a player who is starting to get old (36 years old), who has this fragility,” explained the Breton manager. He will not play again, he will not play any of the last three games.”
The second row of RC Vannes is therefore forfeited for the trip to Clermont, Saturday (4:30 p.m.), on the occasion of the seventh day of Top 14 and will also miss the reception in Castres and the trip to Perpignan on both weekends next ones.
In the absence of the Namibian, Christiaan van der Merwe and Mattéo Desjeux should be associated in the cage on Saturday at the Marcel-Michelin stadium. Fabrice Metz should be left to rest.
Ruru hoped for against Castres
No news regarding the return of Michael Ruru, always hoped for against Castres. “It’s not impossible that he will be here next week,” Spitzer said. In the absence of the New Zealander, who suffered a calf injury and who has already missed the matches against Racing 92 and Montpellier, Jules Le Bail will make a third start as scrum half.
Note that Thibault Debaës, fly-half who has already helped out at the back, was also tested as number 9 in training. “It’s his training position, until his juniors he played in this position,” added the RCV coach. He has technical tools, he also has startup qualities, that little push.”
