Rémy Baget crashing two attempts at Jean-Dauger is not very original. Except when it's no longer under the Aviron Bayonnais jersey. The Castres winger (27 years old) remembered the good memories of the Basque supporters this Saturday, by making the only two achievements of his team (13th, 56th). They slowed down the momentum of the locals, who had to fight until the 74th minute before breathing.
“Luckily we won, otherwise he would have carried us away for a little while,” smiled his ex-teammate Baptiste Heguy after the game. Rémy is a great player. I'm happy for him. It's a little revenge that he takes today (this Saturday). » On his management, who did not want to renew his contract after 6 seasons and 29 tries, including a title of top scorer in Pro D2 in 2022. As we know, the player went into conflict with president Philippe Tayeb. He also celebrated his first try like those of last season, with a little gesture of the finger running towards his temple, a way of saying: “had to think”. Opportunistic, he had just taken advantage of a blocked clearance from Maxime Machenaud.
Fourth try of his season
In the second half, he ultimately benefited from a ball snatched by Levan Chilachava in a regroupment. And will escape Giovanni Habel-Küffner and Camille Lopez on a change of direction. “Beyond being a finisher, he has the quality of being a creative rugby player, appreciates the latter. He takes initiatives, tries things and often succeeds. We are not surprised by its quality. I had the chance to play with him for two years here and he scored a bunch of tries with us too. »
Today, he is the delight of manager Jeremy Davidson, who saw his number 11 score his 3rd and 4th tries in ten matches. “Rémy is an exceptional player who gave Bayonne a lot of satisfaction for six years, including four as a starter. Despite our defeat, it must please him to score in a place he knows very well. » And that he appreciates to the point of staying there to spend the evening with some of his former teammates.
