Not a favorite in this double confrontation in the round of 16 against Tricastin, whose first leg will be this Sunday May 4 in Laborie, the Gaillacois will count on a Victor Renaud found.
The morale is beautiful in Laborie after the beautiful victory in play-offs against Nuits-Saint-Georges (31-18). The ex-annecian (like Maxime Vilers), who came to Gaillac on the advice of Christophe Marth, present on Sunday and member of the large team of the UAG in Pro D2 where, among others Costes, Estebanez, Chinarro, Fabre, Carrat, Bonello, under the presidency of Hubert Mauillon, does not regret his choice. “It is a great club where a beautiful atmosphere reigns and where holders and replacements show a tremendous solidarity, savor Victor Renaud. We play 23 and even more because those who are not in the group (Steven, Angel, Kentin, Vincent, Julien, Bilal, Romain …), encourage us thoroughly.” “We will need everyone,” recalls the manager Gaillacois Jérémie Raffanel.

The third line, which had experienced a blow after the truce, like its teammates, found the shape and its punch. Just like its steel morale: “Our performance against CS Nuiton was successful and very positive training. We should just have more lucidity, be cleaner and effective at certain times but we work well.”

The 26 -year -old also shares the contribution of older elements of the uagist. “The ancients like Maciotta and Potent, who wants to finish in style, make us benefit from their experience and their advice. It is up to us to follow them,” says the third line.
Call to the public
Jérémie Raffanel hopes that the public will play the role of 16e Man, without having to harangue the crowd as last Sunday: “The supporters must allow us to transcend ourselves at certain times because this Tricastin team is formidable. She did not finish leader in her hen by chance.”

No one has forgotten the disappointment of three years ago, when the UAG evolved in Federal 2. The Gaillacois, who had given themselves the opportunity to receive in the dam, ideal in its quest for accession to the Federal 1, had been eliminated by the Drômois in Laborie (10-16). “For me (and many others, starting with the staff, editor’s note), it’s anecdotal because I was not there, Cingle Victor Renaud. Neither the ex-Albigeois (Breton, amebal, Alibert, Maciotta). We are hungry, we enjoy and we want to prolong this adventure as long as possible.”
