Marie-Alice Yahé met en avant le point faible de l’UBB
Zapping World Fifteen Interview Rémi Bonfils: Captain in the French team?
Invited to the Late Rugby Club programme, Canal + consultant Marie-Alice Yahé, a former international with the France team, spoke about the case of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, which is no longer as brilliant as in start of the season. The Gironde team has become quite irregular, and had even experienced a very negative period, with chain defeats.
Marie-Alice Yahé raised what seems to be, according to her, the main evil of Bordeaux: the defense, less in place than before.
This Bordeaux team at the base, in the first 8 league games won an average of 13 points and in the last 5, it took 23. It is much less hermetic than it was, it is once again the syndrome of a team that is a little less confident, a little less efficient in all these areas, which is a little more fragile. The other teams no longer hesitate to attack this Bordeaux defense. There are plenty of little things that show us that this Bordeaux team is lacking in confidence.
The UBB is still in 2nd place in the Top 14 ranking, so virtually qualified directly for the semi-finals. But Castres, 3rd, is tied on points while Racing 92, 4th, is only one point behind. These are examples to show that the UBB is weakened at the end of the season.
to summarize
Marie-Alice Yahé mentioned the case of Union Bordeaux-Bègles and the main evil of this team, which weakens it at the end of the season. This weak point is the defense.
