This Sunday, Floirac begins a second high-risk block with the reception in Guyon of two solid teams, Oloron first and Tyrosse in 15 days. These posters will be interspersed with a perilous trip to Castillon’s neighbors. Richard Hill looks back on a first block during which his young team gleaned 7 points: “We unfortunately lost against Lourdes at home, but we obtained at the last minute a draw at Nafarroa and an important victory at the 4 Cantons. The positive point is that this group is enthusiastic, that they are progressing week after week and above all that they still have a lot of room for improvement. As expected, we still have a lot of work to do to reach our best level. »
At Monflanquin, his team was able to show good spirit in the second half by beating a team that was leading 31-14 to the post, 30 minutes from the end. Floirac was able to rely on a good conquest in the scrum, progressed in touch and above all was much more disciplined. Oloron promises to be a much bigger piece, which the manager confirms: “The most important thing will be to show maximum commitment at all times. On defense by going up quicker and making offensive tackles. But also in attack because we score tries when we manage to hold the ball for more than four phases of play.”
To qualify for the final stages, the Floirac club knows that all matches will be battles and that it will be necessary to take points against each team, particularly at home.
The match
Floirac (7th/7 pts) – Oloron (5th/9 pts), this Sunday October 6, 3:15 p.m. at the Jean-Raymond Guyon stadium in Floirac.
