The adversary: Montauban, the renewal
Second in Pro D2, with four victories in six matches, US Montauban had a great start to the season, which was difficult to predict. Play-off last year, coming close to going down against Narbonne in the play-off, the Garonnais changed staff and moved forward. They will come to Drôme with the desire to stay in the first two places in the ranking.

The fact: the covered lawn
Don’t relive the adventures of last year. For the moment spared from bad weather, the Pompidou lawn must not return to the passable limit like last season. As a precautionary measure, the city services decided to cover the lawn on Thursday morning, after installation, to try to keep it dry despite the current rainy episode.
The number: 177
With 177 points conceded since the start of the season, VRDR is the worst defense in Pro D2. A ranking far from last season when the Damiers were for a long time in the three best defenses in the division. To hope to take 4 points, we will have to bring out the barbed wire again and make sure not to take the 3 average attempts conceded since the start of the season.
The phrase: “Our backs are against the wall”
Scott Newlands was not tongue-tied when discussing the VRDR situation. “Our backs are against the wall,” he explained when defining the current situation of Valence Romans. Last in Pro D2, the Damiers must win against Montauban to move up the rankings.
“It is often in this position that we have responded in the past,” added the forwards coach.
