Some would say that it takes a bit of luck to get there. But everyone knows that she provokes luck! The small point (14 to 13) which sends USEP to the gates of paradise is part of the game!
To be in the final of a French rugby championship, whatever the level, already imposes a mark of respect. In addition to the fact that the place of finalist comes to crown a course without faults in the final phases, everyone also knows that a final is not played, it is won!
President Canton’s men will have to do as well as their predecessors who lifted the Honor Promotion shield in 2010.
And for that, as during the season, with sometimes up to 2000 spectators at the stadium, the people of the plateaux and the enclaves are mobilizing like never before. No less than 12 buses will reach the place of the final in Castanet-Tolosan and set fire to the Stade du Lautard.
Opposite, the Catalans of the Salanque Côte Radieuse, are not the first to come and carry in them the genes of furia that all rugby fans know well. The agreement of the three villages of Canet-en-Roussillon, Sainte-Marie-la-Mer and Torrelles, on the Côte Radieuse, is just as active, both among supporters and among players, whose forwards have a reputation for not doing things by halves, to stuff balloons, a light cavalry without complex.
For its part, USEP, Sunday at 3 p.m., will rely on the values it has cultivated for a long time and trust boys trained at the club, who have known each other since rugby school. Marc Canton the president, knows that it will not be easy, but with the lucidity that we know him, he imagines a scenario of wear, in which his troops excel, to serve this planchot of Federal 3, on a “tray”!
