Le Bugue (2nd/33 pts) – Bressols (6th/20 pts)
Lieu Le Bugue (Renaud-Cruveiller stadium). Hourly Sunday January 12 at 3:15 p.m. Arbitrator Mr. Fontaine (Nouvelle-Aquitaine). First leg Cribs 18 – The Bugue 22.
THE BUG The group: Muller, Montastier, Ventre, Jacquement, Vasquez, Balat, Ricerne, Boudet, Desmond, Magnat, Molus, El Haoury, Rondet, Rouchy, Bruneteau, Da Fonseca, Magnanou, Hervé.
After the end-of-year celebrations, the Rugby Club Buguois resumes with desire and determination. Far from the big defeat suffered in Rodez (42-3) to conclude a year 2024 which was nevertheless largely satisfactory.
“Our objective is always qualification, but that requires mobilization and total investment from the group,” says Brice Bargozza, the coach of the three-quarters of Bugue. The potential seen during the first legs gives good hope for the rest of the competition. » Behind the untouchable Ruthenois, the Vézériens lead the pursuers, with three points ahead of Caussade and five over Saint-Cernin.
-Absent people
“We had a complicated break, few guys were present at training,” laments Frédéric Beltzung, the forwards coach, who will miss the next two matches. We resumed with a friendly match at Montignac, which we largely won with a mixed squad. We are working well, we have reworked on our fundamentals. We are going to integrate a young man, Thomas Rondet, who has potential and who will play third center line. »
Sunday January 12, the Buguois will host Bressols, where they won in the first leg (18-22). In the process, they will go to Nègrepelisse, before a new cut. The problem is that the infirmary is always full. Four players are still there for a while: Levan Zaridze, Stéphane Marty, Romain Landon and Robin Mogeda while Geoffroy Beltzung is suspended.
