Top 14: Aimé-Giral sold out for the twelfth time in a row for USAP-La Rochelle

Again and again. And, as a symbol, the start of this series began against the same opponent, on the same day. This Sunday (6 p.m.), USAP meets Aimé-Giral for the reception in La Rochelle on behalf of the 13th day of Top 14. A meeting that the Catalans will play in a cathedral, once again sold out.

Thus, for the twelfth time in a row, the USAP will play in a blood and gold stadium filled with its 14,232 supporters, including of course the few Rochelais in the aisles. An express filling this time. Because, unlike the receptions in Vannes, on November 2, and Toulon, on November 30, this sold-out event was recorded three days before the match. Proof, if any were needed, of the Catalan fervor and the challenge of this match against La Rochelle to make up for the last defeat against Toulon (13-22).

This series of sold-out matches has therefore continued since last season and the… 13th day, against… La Rochelle. Since then, Toulouse, Castres, Lyon, Clermont twice, Bordeaux-Bègles, Pau, Lyon, Vannes and Toulon have come up against the Catalan fury, which hopes, this time, to rediscover the victory and success it provoked. .
