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 7th day of Pro D2 Mr. Evan Urruzmendi of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine league. He will be assisted on the sidelines by Ghyslain Elias (Ile de France) and Mathieu Noirot (Occitanie). The 4th and 5th referees are Maxime Bouzac (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) and Tanguy Vigier (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur). The video referee is Patrick Dellac (Nouvelle Aquitaine).
Fifth match this season for Evan Urruzmendi. He divided his time between the Top 14 (2 matches) and the Pro D2 (2 matches). For Provence, this will be the 2nd time after the trip to Grenoble. For Brive, this will be the first time this season. Note that he was already the referee of this poster last season which saw the Provençals win in stoppage time. The home teams have won 3 of the 4 meetings so far this season.
In 4 matches, Mr Urruzmendi distributed 11 yellow cards and 1 red card, 4 yellows for the locals and 7 yellows and 1 red for the visitors.
