It was in Nice that the UBB season ended on Saturday evening (June 18). The Union Bordeaux Bègles players could do nothing to stop the Héraultais on their way to their potential first French championship title. The score is final: 19 to 10. If the defeat is “logical” as Christophe Urios explained, the fact remains that regrets are also in order at the end of the season. And if the team had not experienced a slump in the second half of the season? What if the players didn’t have to go through the play-offs? What if… The list can go on.

Castres vs. Montpelier. The poster for the final is all in all logical if we look at the standings at the end of the regular season. The first faces the second to win the famous shield of Brennus. While the UBB player is preparing to give everything to try to win his first title, the time has already come to the balance sheet on Gironde lands. Christophe Urios said he saw his management evolve this season. To be even better next season? The coach will be in Bordeaux again next season and will be able to accompany his team which has revealed some nuggets during the season: the third row Bastien Vergnes-Taillefer, who came from Colomiers in the off-season, the young Gatien Massé and Louis Bielle-Biarrey also, without forgetting sure values like Maxime Lucu and Ulupano Seuteni. No sooner has the UBB season ended than some players will see life in blue with the summer tour in July. Six players are part of the adventure including Matthieu Jalibert and Bastien Vergnes-Taillefer.
