Narbonne 0 – Bourg-en-Bresse 0
Fichten returns to business and Moïse is not retained by the staff. Betham, losing momentum in recent matches, slides onto the bench in place of Silafai-Lea'ana who is returning from injury. Just like Nueno who takes over his position in place of PH Ducom who takes over his wing and his brother Etienne who replaces him.
Note the tenure of Santoro as opener, Chauvet and Bosch being injured. Atlan's return to heel, Estériola sliding on the bench.

Additional issues
Without forgetting their state of mind, their capacity for revolt and their desire to fight, in the good sense of the term. What had been absent, totally absent, 8 days ago.
Challenges
These are part of the issues of this match, the others being, of course, the content of the match and the quality of play of captain Belzons' men.
Also watch for the trip from Périgueux to Suresnes (6:30 p.m.).
USC defeat
USC lost to Langon (32 to 24).
If Rouen and Chambéry are currently out of reach, this is not the case for the other opponents mentioned. Only USC, in the event of success at Langon, could still get ahead of a victorious Racing as well. Without forgetting Périgueux!
provisional classification
Rouen (1st with 49 points), Chambéry (2nd with 44 points), Carcassonne which goes to Langon (3rd with 40 points), Périgueux (4th with 40 points) which goes to Suresnes and Albi (5th with 40 points) after its victory last night against Massy (14 to 09) are ahead of the RCN.
top 3 ?
6th with 39 points, the RCN must no longer lose points against its direct rivals to hope to secure a 1st or 2nd place in the group.
Trap
This is the trap that the people of Narbonne must avoid before the long-awaited derby at Domec on Friday November 29 (7:30 p.m.).
Scorer
However, their gunner, Massip, who scored 100% against Carcassonne, will be present on the pitch. So be careful with indiscipline, it could be very expensive this evening.
turn-over
And this despite 8 changes on the scoresheet compared to that of the match against USC.
Attention bis
It is a team which is gaining strength and their victories last week against Carcassonne (31 to 23) and at Langon, hitherto impregnable at home (17 to 20) demonstrate that the Burgiens will not come to the edge of the big blue in expiatory victim.
Attention
However, the arrival of Bourg-en-Bresse, which crucified the RCN in its time, is not reassuring.
Jerked off
The rout suffered in Périgueux, a shock even (40 to 13) must not, cannot be followed by another defeat. What's more, at home.
two slaps?
One slap ok but not two!
Good evening
Good evening to everyone. Welcome to lindépendant.fr to follow the reception of Bourg-en-Bresse by the RCN (6:30 p.m.) on the lawn of the Parc des Sports et de l'Amitié in Narbonne.
