If the UBB ended its black series of five losses this Saturday, it owes it to its collective, to the energy regained after a week of vacation but also to the talent of its two internationals.
Returning to the club on Monday, two days after achieving the Grand Slam with the XV of France, Maxime Lucu and Cameron Woki improved a team that came to Paris to resume its march forward.
They transmitted this state of mind that is in them, this win too – Christophe Urios
The scrum half, who had played little during the Tournament, delivered an almost perfect copy. In animation, in management and also against the poles with 16 points at 6 out of 9.
The second line, used much more by Fabien Galthié, was invaluable in the fight and also decisive when he came to the support of Santiago Cordero to register the try which revived the UBB (18-20, 44th).
“Max and Cameron have been continuing what they have been doing for several weekswelcomes Christophe Urios. High level players. I found that they had quickly changed, they were exemplary. They were sad to see us like that, we couldn’t win matches. They transmitted this state of mind which is in them, this also wins. And obviously they give confidence to the group.“
A group that has been hunkered down for two months, which hopes to have turned its back on bad luck and which has launched the end-of-season sprint perfectly in the wake of its blue duo.
“They have just experienced something exceptionalrecalls Captain Mahamadou Diaby, and it has to serve them in the club. A team is chemistry. And for it to work well, you need executive players, high-level players.“
