Ce match gratuit se déroulera au complexe Pierre-Ramadier à 19 h 30. Il représente la touche finale de leur stage de détection organisé à Lunel.

It's a combo worthy of the best scrums that is being played these days with the French women's rugby union team of the national gendarmerie.

The eighteen rugbywomen, aged 20 to 39, set foot on the pitch and the ground of the Lunel sports facilities for a training course to detect new recruits who will play the season's matches.

Staying at the Victor-Hugo high school

Staying since Sunday evening, October 13, at the Victor-Hugo high school, where they also have their meals, the girls undertook physical and technical tests on the first day in Ramadier, before to start training the next day.

A stay in Lunel supervised by manager Ludivine Wieder, her assistant Anne-Sophie Meunier, as well as four coaches and a physical trainer.

A level confrontation

A stay, above all, which ends tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m., with a match at the Pierre-Ramadier complex against the Montpellier Hérault rugby (MHR) Elite team. “The players were really nice to play against us, notes Ludivine Wieder. The Montpellier players are undoubtedly at a better level and this will allow us to judge ours well.”

The City more responsive to welcome them

As for choosing the city of Lunel to organize this detection course ? “It's quite simple : we had to go to Nîmes. A policeman from Lunel (Sylvain Blatière, Editor's note), also at the Rol and the Képis pescalunes for whom we play gala matches, organised everything for our visit. The City and the partners were more than responsive. The choice was not long in coming!"

And for that and all the rugby fans who will be attending the match tomorrow evening, we owe them a big thank you!

This Thursday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m., at the Ramadier complex. Free entry. Refreshments and XV France gendarmerie shop on site.
