For the second day of Pro D2, Biarritz Olympique goes to Brittany to challenge RC Vannes at La Rabine, two after the semi-final won on the wire by the BO. With 8 changes in the starting XV, the BO will have to confirm their opening victory against Oyonnax.
This is a new chapter in the story between Biarritz and Vannes which is written this Friday, September 2. The last time Biarritz Olympique went to La Rabine was to beat Vannes on the siren in the semi-finals of Pro D2, thanks to a try by Gavin Stark, on May 30, 2021. Since then, the Biarrots made the lift between Top 14 and Pro D2, and the Bretons never recovered from this defeat, they who only finished 11th last season, and who even had to fight for a long time to get out of the relegation red zone in the first part of the season.
On the side of Biarritz, with 8 changes in the starting XV compared to the team which beat Oyonnax last week at the start of the championship (18-14), it will be “to look good on the outside“explained Roger Ripolscrum coach. For the Vannetais, it is already necessary to catch up with a first misstep this seasonsince the Bretons lost to the promoted from Soyaux-Angoulême on the first day, again on the gong (31-30).
