Ninth in the Super XIII championship rankings! The players of Racing XIII Saint-Gaudinois will receive, tomorrow Sunday, at 3 p.m. at the Jules Ribet stadium their counterparts from XIII Limouxin, to whom they envy sixth place, synonymous with qualification.
Four points separate the two teams. “It’s certain,” says coach Cyril Moliner, “we’re going to take the field with the intention of doing everything we can to win. But we have to remain realistic and not forget that, even at home, we remain the outsiders.
Limoux have just recruited new players and it’s a team we haven’t been able to beat for a long time. We also have a very good team, capable of delivering a very good match to the maximum of our qualities. We will have to do our best, surpass ourselves to overcome the fact that we are not always respected.”
Cyril is acerbic and wishes to express his heavy disappointment and injustice when he alludes to the unacceptable racist comments made towards a Saint-Gaudinois player without the sanctions that should result from them being imposed. “We have to say what is. We will have to do more, he adds.”
In any case, the Bears will find Mathieu Pons and Benjamin Vizcay in their ranks, absent during the last meetings. The team is energetic, responsible and conscientious. Tomorrow, we will not have to concede any points to keep the achievement of the objectives calmly possible.
Announced lineup: Hellec, Pons, Minga, Gorka, Lucas, Dumas, Robinson, Aparicio, Vizcay, Toleafoa, Béranger, Alchin and Caparros. Sentenac, Ader, Quemener and Adoue will be on the bench.
Curtain raiser for the U19 elite championship and pre-match meal.
