The day begins with a clash of suitors. To access the Top 14, there will not be room for everyone and some will not be able to access it. Provence and Brive are aiming for accession to the Top 14 and want to fight to the end for that. First element of response this Thursday.
The LNR has appointed central referee for this meeting of the 9th day of Pro D2 Mr. Benjamin Hernandez of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes league. He will be assisted on the sidelines by Benoit Albert-Bonnafous (Occitanie) and François Bouzac (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes). The 4th and 5th referees are Gautier Reymond-Laruina (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes) and Benoit Moestus (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes). The video referee is Mourad Zitouni (Occitanie).
Fourth match this season for Benjamin Hernandez. If he has not yet refereed Valence-Romans this season, he has already refereed Brive, it was during the reception of Aurillac. Home teams have not yet lost with this referee with 2 wins and 1 draw (between Soyaux-Angoulême and Provence).
In 3 matches, Mr Hernandez distributed 2 yellow cards, 1 yellow for the locals and 1 yellow for the visitors.
