After the truce of the championship due to the final of the French Cup Lord Derby, resumption of the Super XIII this weekend
This Saturday, Villefranche XIII Aveyron finds the Super XIII and travels to Villeneuve-sur-Lot on behalf of the 20ᵉ day. This trip to Aquitaine will see the wolves face a direct competitor in sixth place, synonymous with the last post for the final stages. Currently, the Villeneuvois are classified sixth with 33 points for 18 games. The Villefranchois, for their part, are seventh with 30 points for 17 games. When reading this ranking, the equation is simple: the team that will overcome will have taken a serious option for qualification.
By playing on their land, the Aquitans will have an additional advantage. Over their last five games, they have garnered three victories against Saint-Estève (28-24), at the Olympic Toulouse (16-32), Carcassonne (30-18), and two defeats against Albi (6-16) and Pia (22-10). These results show the full extent of the possibilities of this training. With their hunting board Saint-Estève, winner last week of the French Cup, as well as Carcassonne, the Villeneuvois have serious chances on their side. In addition, all their latest defeats resulted in the gain in the defensive bonus point, another proof of the value of this training.
-With players such as Jack Aiken, an outstanding defense performer, and Jo Wanbergue, undisputed leader, the locals will approach this meeting with steel morale and full confidence.
The Villefranchois, for their part, will make this displacement without complex, aware that the forecasts are against them. Always handicapped by injuries, the Aveyronnais do not have the depth of staff of their opponents, who drew on their junior training, even if it was sometimes against them. The Villefranchois therefore approach this meeting with fewer assets, but not without ambition.
Three days from the end of the regular phase, the wolves have already managed their entry into the Super XIII. Anything that can happen now can be more.
