The Mons who started the championship by beating Aurillac, brought back a defensive bonus from Béziers and have just won in Biarritz are 3rd. Oyonnax, very big mechanics is 2nd, one point ahead of the Gascons.
Oyo it’s big. Nothing changes in Ain. The “Plastic Valley” still offers a solid, thick, serious group. Ambitious too. Third in the last championship, eliminated in the semi-finals in Bayonne, the manager’s men Joe ElAbd have an appetite. Associated to Vincent Debaty and now Fabien Cibray, former scrum-half of the club, El Abd, the former red and black flanker, who returned to Ain three years ago after leading the forwards for five seasons, has plenty to do in heavy strategy and the challenge strict. The fight is still a major issue in Oyonnax. Best defense of the past season Oyo still offers the face of a very armed group for its twentieth consecutive season in French professional rugby. While remaining faithful to its values, the club is nevertheless moving. We created the Oyosphere, a structure to expand and strengthen partnerships and also associations with amateur clubs in the region. Oyonnax now wants to be the benchmark for rugby in… the Grand-Est, from Aubenas to Strasbourg. Sic! The wage bill was increased by seven percent. And Oyo is also definitely targeting the youth card, the training sector, it is today forty-seven percent of the workforce current. The group was retoqué for a quarter this summer. And the enclosure of Charles-Mathon wants to become again this cenacle of hell for the adversaries of the oyomen.
Two men, among the troop, to enhance the workforce. Two big ones from the yellow and black forecastle, because rugby always starts there!

SIMON LABOUYRIE. The talent of a heel! A good guy from here. Simon Labouyrie likes to say that he returned to the country by signing at Stade Montois. The native of Ondres, who will be thirty-one on October 15, has indeed traveled quite a bit in ovaly. The soundtrack in hope, Dax, rowing then Bourg-en-Bresse and Hyères. Back to the bled by the scratches from home. Serious heel, the smiling good-natured, big joker moreover, who assumes the almost one hundred and ten kilos for his eighty meters, settled on the edge of Midouze with the desire to do battle and also to put down the suitcases with his lady. Coming out of the meadow, Simon Labouyrie, is a quiet, without excess: a tour in the palombière with his heel buddy Romain Latterrade, just to get two or three duck breasts, duck fat potatoes and a few slices of venison pâté rather than firing a gunshot. Labouyrie who would see himself in the ball issue again in the final with his band, to touch the piece of wood, this time!

Because quickly integrated, quickly used in wasps. Curie, pillar-heel, the good pickaxe of the summer of stripes.
