After their defeat in the Top 14 at the La Rochelle neighbors last weekend, the men of Christophe Urios hoped to reset the counters to zero by winning the victory. This time, no championship but a ticket for the rest of the Champions Cup. Unfortunately, the step was too high. Beaten 31 to 13 in the lair of Chaban Delmas in Bordeaux, the UBB players could not do anything against their (yellow and) black beast. What did the Girondins miss to get into the game? What consequences for the rest of the season? Thierry Paiva, left pillar of the Union, is the guest of 100% UBB with Arnaud Carré.
We must not find excuses, we must continue to train. I’m sure it will turn out
How to end the black series?
The next deadline for UBB players promises to be important. How to approach the third and last meeting of the Atlantic derby which promises to be boiling hot with the public of the Deflandre stadium in La Rochelle? The European dream is already slipping away for Thierry Paiva and his teammates. The pillar is announced leaving at the end of the season. A departure to the neighboring La Rochelle that the main interested party does not confirm for the moment. He says he is focused on finishing the season with the Union players.
I have a discussion with Christophe, but after signing in November. I had no proposal from Bordeaux. He explained to me that with Jefferson, it was difficult to make choices and that he wanted someone else for next season.
Next match: Round of 16 second leg Stade Rochelais / UBB Saturday April 16 at 4 p.m. To follow on France Bleu Gironde
