For several weeks, the UBB has been looking for reinforcement in the third line. Research made even more urgent since the injury of Guido Petti who will be out for the next two months. Knowing also that Jean-Baptiste Lachaise was injured on Saturday against Stade Français, that Antoine Miquel complains of a shoulder and that Pierre Bochaton (knee) has not yet played this season.
As revealed by L’Equipe, information that France Bleu Gironde was able to confirm, the choice of the staff fell on Renato Giammarioli, a 27-year-old player, who played for Zebre de Parme before signing this summer for Worcester. A club whose jersey he could not wear. First for a visa problem. Then because Worcester, in the grip of enormous financial difficulties, was suspended from all competitions by the English Federation.
The number 8 should quickly arrive in Gironde to give a little more rotation in a sector where the UBB lacks depth. He will join his compatriot and national team-mate, winger Federico Mori.
