After 28 PRO D2 matches, neither Avrion Bayonnais nor Oyonnax has managed to get the upper hand over its opponent. The two teams are at 94 points in the standings after Bayonne’s victory against Vannes (22-17) and the bonus point obtained by Oyonnax in Narbonne (13-28), a match which also ended the little hope Narbonnais to stay in PRO D2.
There are two games left before the end of the regular season and the calendar seems a little more favorable to the oyomens: they receive Provence Rugby which keeps a slim hope of qualifying for the final stages and go to Aurillac which has nothing more to play for.
On the other hand, for the Bayonnais, a trip on May 5 to Carcassonne who wants to obtain the best possible place in the race for the dams. Finally, reception at Dauger de Rouen who will certainly play his maintenance in PRO D2.
Which team will finish second and therefore avoid the play-offs to go directly to the semi-final? Debate to listen to again in 100% rugby with in particular Yann Blanchard’s argument on the management of the two teams.
The end of the season, the play-offs, a semi-final and even a possible final, only important matches! How do you manage your owners? The key is there!
In the rest of the news, the TOP 14. The Biarritz Olympique chained a sixth consecutive defeat to Racing (40-7). Is the soundtrack capable of winning one last match in this championship? It’s a yes for our consultants but against which team do they imagine the feat? Castres and Clermont will present themselves in Aguiléra in the next few days and the BO will go to Toulouse to conclude the season.
Finally, it’s the final of the Women’s 6 Nations Tournament. Les Bleues can make the Grand Slam in Bayonne this Saturday but they will have to beat the English who scored an average of 64 points in this Tournament. Is it mission impossible to win this game? Debate with Yann Blanchard and our referee Benoit Caballero who don’t really appreciate this model of competition for women.
