At the age of 24, Lucas Prudhomme, second row of AS Fleurance (Nationale 2), made a promising debut at home last Sunday against Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Encounter.

His career continued in Nevers as a hopeful, where he has fond memories: “During my last season in Nevers, I played in the final of the French National Espoir Championship against Blagnac. A final certainly lost but a great experience and excellent memories. »
After Nevers, Lucas bounced back to Chartres (Fédérale 1) for two seasons and, since the off-season, here he is at Fleurance. “This change was made through acquaintances and around an agent who spoke about me in the South and around Agen especially. It must be said that my girlfriend is from Agen and I also wanted to find the sun in the south of France. I was contacted by Fleurance at the end of last season during the final stages and contacts were good with the president Jérôme Lhospital. »

The young second row continues: “A little later, I spoke with coach Walter Desmaison and I do not regret my choice. Integration happened naturally in the club, through training and integration evenings, it was actually easy. I found here rugby and non-rugby values completely different from what I knew before. We are a division above what I have known before but there are, however, fewer headaches here. »
“I was never necessarily worried”
We then talk about this still hot victory against Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a victory obviously well experienced from the inside by Lucas. “It mostly feels good. I saw the defeats from the outside since I couldn't play, it was frustrating not being able to contribute anything. On Sunday, we settled well in terms of conquest, it was the element that sinned the most, otherwise in what was desire or whatever, there was no problem. »
If this second victory comes at the right time, the neo-Fleurantin never doubted: “I was never necessarily worried because it happens to have bad times. What didn't worry me was seeing all the guys in training despite the defeats, guys who were always involved and didn't give up. »

After the Luziens, we must now turn to this important match on Sunday in Graulhet. “Even if it’s a bottom-of-the-table team, we’re reaching a level where there aren’t really any bottom-of-the-table teams at home. We are preparing for this match seriously, like all the other matches, and we have set ourselves the objective of winning in Graulhet. In any case, you have to try to take as many points as possible there, and if it's not a victory, at least get the defensive bonus. »
With the integration of Lucas into the team, the ASF has certainly put a tiger in its engine with the hope of hearing the roar of victory on Sunday in the Tarn.
