More damage in the ranks of the SUA

Dorian Bellot forfeits the last one in Brive

Cut up by his Aurillacois counterpart Alania (expelled, 80^e) on the last action of the match on Friday, scrum half Dorian Bellot appeared with a very marked face under his cap this Saturday in the stands of the Rabal stadium to support the Espoirs. A pretty “egg” under his left eye, he suffers from an injury to the orbital floor, sinuses and nose. He is already out for the last match in 2024, this Thursday (9 p.m.) in Brive. “It’s fifteen days to three weeks of absence, the holidays come at a good time…”

Massacre at the right pillar post

After Alex Burin injured during the week in training and already out against Aurillac, it was the Georgian Lasha Macarashvili who left the field prematurely on Friday (27^e), suffered a concussion. The right pillar should therefore be withdrawn in turn on Thursday in Brive. An opportunity for Beau Farrance to start, unless the staff prefers the versatile Mamuka Mstoiani. Hit in the shoulder (24^e), center Peyo Muscarditz should also miss the last meeting of the year with the Agenais in Corrèze.

Champagne in the locker room thanks to Farré

Came out during the break after feeling pain in his adductors on the 2nd^e line Vincent Farré was also in Rabal on Saturday to support the Espoirs, like Thibaud Mazzoleni or manager Sébastien Calvet. He took the opportunity to tell an anecdote after the victory the day before: “During the warm-up at the hotel, President Fonteneau told me of his fears before this match. I told him “we’re going to rotofil them!” » while betting the champagne. There were bubbles on Friday in the Armandie locker rooms.
