On Saturday, UBB and Stade Français will compete for the second ticket for the Top 14 final. UBB has the advantage of playing on home soil, but in a different stadium.
The allocation of the “neutral ground” for the Top 14 semi-finals is done more than a year in advance. UBB therefore knew that it had the opportunity to play at home (not in its lair of Chaban Delmas, but at Matmut Atlantique). “It was a moral commitment with our supporters at the start of the season. A matter of respect for them that we are qualified for this semi-finalrecognizes Yannick Bru. Now that the weight is gone, the decor no longer matters. The referees will be impervious to public pressure.” Anecdotal then? ” Yes and nospecifies the Bordeaux captain, Mahamadou Diaby. We all had this meeting at home in mind. If we had 3000 reasons to be motivated, this was one more. Playing in front of our families and people who have followed us for years counts. But all this will only make sense if we win.”
