Two moves to start

If it was granted – she will go to Ivry – The Green team, however, did not expect to travel during the opening of the championship. And what a trip: to Paris, to the champion, the weekend of September 7!

"It’was our penultimate away game last season ; this time it will be the first. We quickly return there, it’s a nice symbol after our exploit (33-32 on May 19)", comments President David Tebib. Who noticed that the Green team will have to “go out” four times during the first six meetings (at PSG, Ivry, Dunkirk and Chambéry; first reception, Créteil, September 21). "We discussed it with the coach, David Degouy : the end of the preparation will have to be more flexible, trying to limit travel", specifies Tebib.
