Rugby (Federal 2): ​​facing Grasse at home, defeat forbidden for Millau

Efficacité, énergie, courage, conviction… des ingrédients que les Somistes devront apporter à leur prestation. Archives ML

Pour le staff, un seul mot d’ordre "vaincre, vaincre, vaincre." Mais pour cela "il faudra gommer le manque d’efficacité dans les zones de marque."

Given the current situation in which SOM is stuck and given the number of games remaining to be played this season, eight including four at home, it is clear that today's match can be considered as the last chance for the Somistes. No more time to lose therefore and only one watchword: win.

Today's opponent RO Grasse is a little better off in the standings (10th and 9 points ahead of SOM). But like its opponent today, it is also concerned with maintaining its position. To avoid a double relegation (let's remember that the Grasse club played in Fédérale 1 last season), the Azuréens have already arrived in the city of gloves to best prepare for this very important match. A meeting that will take place at an unusual time since the kick-off is brought forward to 2:45 p.m., the two clubs having thus arranged given the distance and the return journey.

“Don't fail at home”

In the first leg, SOM, who were leading at half-time, stood up to the adversity, density and aggressiveness of the locals and brought home a good defensive bonus point. Millau coach Baptiste Majorel summed it up. “We're going to fight until the end, this is the 3rd match in January, we were close to victory in the first 2 but now we have no choice. We're approaching this match with the obvious in our heads that we can no longer fail at home.” To succeed in this mission, it will therefore take a team of fighters ready to give their all to save the Somiste institution, which is badly engaged in its championship.

“Conquer, conquer, conquer”

In terms of the squad, in the absence of the injured Pierre Grugnet, the return of young Enzo Mariamon as a pillar and the starting line-up of the old “grognards” Christopher Mézair and Sébastien Abdelkader, reunited as they were a few seasons ago, will be starting in the second row. We therefore expect a fight and the bench will be provided and muscular accordingly with five forwards including De March, Naudan or the Bourrel brothers.

For the staff, there is only one watchword: “win, win, win, but to do that we will have to erase our lack of efficiency in the scoring zones. I have confidence in the 22 boys who will proudly wear the colours of SOM.”

Efficiency, energy, courage, conviction, these are the ingredients that the Somistes will have to bring to their performance. An appeal to the public is also launched and in the difficult situation in which the players are they will really need to be encouraged, the maintenance will perhaps also pass through there in communion and not in division.
