the essential
Fourth in pool 4 of Fédérale 2, UA Saverdun is in a good qualifying position. Victorious over Leucate, the Ariégeois move without excessive pressure on the lawn of leader Villefranche-de-Lauragais. With nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Of the six leading teams, UA Saverdun, 4th, is the only team to have played 14 matches. With 4 points ahead of 5th, the Ariégeois have a (small) margin. They travel to the leader’s pitch this Sunday without too much pressure. During the first leg, the neighbors Haut-Garonnais largely lost to Paul-Fines (30-8). Since then, the Red Devils have taken the lead in the standings and will undoubtedly have revenge. With two small points ahead of Saint-Girons, Villefranche therefore has no room for error if it wants to keep control. But, as they say, we will have to face “those pugnacious Ariégeois!” » Benoît Tessarotto, co-coach of UAS, welcomed the last home victory against Leucate as a real relief: “We had been aiming for this match for a long time. We did what was necessary by winning it, what’s more with the bonus point.” At mid-championship, the UAS is in the right group of qualifiers. Before a week of rest, the week’s training sessions were, as usual, particularly studious, proof that the red and black group approaches this meeting seriously, without any lightness. You will have to be mentally strong and deliver a solid performance in all areas of the game to win, why not, at least, a defensive bonus point. “You have to be wary of this type of match, a sort of derby,” warns Yannick Idrac. In this type of meeting where passions are multiplied, the ranking does not count. We must therefore remain cautious and offer the best to emerge victorious. »
