Yesterday evening, Union Bordeaux-Bègles took their revenge on Stade Toulousain by winning 16 to 12 at the end of the 4th day of the Top 14. The Bordelais, slapped in the final last season with a 59 to 3 defeat, managed to win at Ernest-Wallon and they achieved a big blow. But after the match, Yannick Bru, the UBB manager, spoke at a press conference to mention a short sentence from Clément Poitrenaud, former player and now member of the Stade Toulousain staff. The Rouge et Noir backs coach had a short comment during the week concerning the UBB “Galactics”. A nickname sometimes given to the UBB attack line, notably led by the internationals Matthieu Jalibert, Damian Penaud or Louis Bielle-Biarrey and which had made Poitrenaud tick since the latter had confided: “The Galactics are the ones who win the matches that count“. Except that UBB won yesterday and Yannick Bru, Poitrenaud’s former teammate in Toulouse, mercilessly reframed the ex-player, with strong words.
Bru reframe Poitrenaud without pity
“It’s a new energy, new objectives, a new workforce. We also have the desire to climb the stairs. We had prepared for this, with a lot of humility. I know Clément well, he is a humble and hard-working person, I was very surprised by the little sentence he said about us, I think it lacked respect and class. It doesn’t look like Clément, and obviously, that upsets us a little“, Yannick Bru told the media last night, not failing to put Poitrenaud in his place. Suffice to say that the next match between the two teams promises to be even more spicy!
