The new winger of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, Enzo Reybier (22 years old) celebrated his first start against Perpignan (66-12). He scored a double, savoring the atmosphere of Chaban-Delmas and without hiding his emotion at playing under the eyes of his family in Bordeaux.
He had only had 23 minutes of play since his arrival at Union Bordeaux-Bègles last offseason. Enzo Reybier then had a trial action. It was against Toulouse but Romain Ntamack, after a crazy race, managed to save his team and deprive the former Oyonnax player of a try for his first with his new club. The historic victory won by UBB at Ernest-Wallon had eclipsed the first outing of the young 22-year-old player, a former under-20 international. Mateo Garcia’s long-range penalty and the last defensive sequence were the great satisfactions of the evening.
Against Perpignan, Enzo Reybier had the number eleven on his back, celebrating his first start with his new club. “It’s not a dream but almost to make my first at Chaban. I’m very happy. My double is a little bonus”confided the former oyoman after this dream afternoon, with a clear victory with a score of 66 to 12.
“When there are big flights, like that, it’s quite pleasant to play, especially since all the conditions were met. Behind us, we took a lot of pleasure, I think, in scoring tries, in making great things. Even if there are also points to correct in the match.” Even if Enzo Reybier still had difficulty realizing it, he did not hide his emotion after a necessarily special week. “I found out about my start in the middle of the week as usual and it was perfect because my family had been planning to come for this match for a while. […] Obviously, I had a little extra stress with a desire to do well, even more so for a first. It was not a match like any other. Afterwards the stress disappears with the first ball.”
“I know there will be times when guys will join the French team”
By signing a double in the middle of this orgy of tests, Enzo Reybier showed that he could climb into the French patrol without mismatching, leaving the field with a mention from his manager Yannick Bru: “I am happy for Enzo, who was able to measure the physical impact of the Usap islanders while doing well.”
For his part, the young winger, involved in Tevita Tatafu’s first try, knows that he is only at the beginning of his adventure in Gironde: “I first came to progress because it is by playing with the best players that we progress. And then, I know that there will be times when guys will leave for the France team. That will also be the moment to express myself and show my potential. It’s a three-quarter line with the French team so it’s really nice to play alongside all these players. I’m learning a lot because it’s a new club. with completely different structures from what I knew at Oyonnax But it is also in change that we can progress. I try to see what these great players do, everything they can bring me. and even if I don’t try to copy them, I am inspired by the beautiful things they manage to do to try to become better.” This first at Chaban-Delmas should give him the confidence to achieve this.
